Hi,

While using xref (xref-find-definitions and xref-find-references, etc)
in separate windows, I hit M-, to pop the marker stack expecting that
each window should have a separate stack.

However, it seems that the entire emacs instance shares a single
xref--marker ring.

Could we have separate xref--marker-rings per window, or some
configuration option to enable that?

I have some patches that I could submit, if that helps!

Thanks,

Ackerley

Deal!

Ah yep, that probably works.

I've pushed the patch with minor updates in 65f35b7f6f4 and bumped xref 
version to 1.6.0.

Also see the commit message for an example of how we write them, for 
your next contribution. Thanks!
