[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tags: patch


Rather than using minibuffer-with-setup-hook and
minibuffer-default-add-function, just pass the list of default
file names as a regular argument to read-file-name.  This
behaves better with various customizations, and also allows the
normal abbreviate-file-name logic in read-file-name to run.
