Subject: proposed list-buffers change -- revert buffer if point is in *Buffer
	List* buffer
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:22:43 -0400

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

The command list-buffers always puts point at the end of the buffer. This
patch changes the list-buffers command to simply revert the buffer if point
is inside the *Buffer List* buffer. Since point is kept at the same line,
the user can more easily see what changes have occurred.
