(dired-use-ls-dired): New variable. (dired-directory): Document the rules better. (dired-insert-headerline): Function deleted. (dired-revert): Pass no args to dired-readin. (dired-move-to-filename): First try using dired-filename property. (dired-move-to-end-of-filename): Likewise. (dired-why): Try to show the start of this page of warnings. (dired-log): Insert the buffer name at start of page, not end. (dired-log-summary): If just one failure, explain it in echo area. (dired-internal-noselect): Always set dired-directory, when buffer is not new. Pass dir-or-list, not dirname, to dired-mode. Call dired-readin with no args. Don't call dired-after-readin-hook here. (dired-find-buffer-nocreate): Expand dirname. Expand the dir from dired-directory to compare with dirname. (dired-readin): Take no args. Get the directory from dired-directory. Run dired-before-reading hook inside save-excursion. Run dired-after-readin-hook here. Don't make undo entries at all. Call dired-readin-insert with no args. Don't change indentation here. Don't insert headerline here. (dired-readin-insert): Take no args. Get dir and file-list from dired-directory. Call dired-insert-directory the new way. Don't insert "wildcard" info here. (dired-insert-directory): New arg FILE-LIST. First arg now DIR, always just the directory. This function fully handles setting up the buffer text: update indentation, insert headerline and "wildcard" info. Pass --dired arg if appropriate; put info in dired-filename props. Don't expand file names here.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
