Set `default-directory' in *scratch* to the current directory of emacsclient. * lib-src/emacsclient.c (get_current_dir_name): New function, copied here from sysdep.c. (main): Use it to send over the current directory. * lisp/server.el (server-process-filter): Accept `-dir' command. Set `default-directory' of the *scratch* buffer on connect, if applicable. git-archimport-id: lorentey@elte.hu--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-539

    (Done in patch-537.)
 
+-- The `default-directory' variable should somehow be set to the
+   cwd of the emacsclient process when the user runs emacsclient
+   without file arguments.  Perhaps it is OK to just override the
+   directory of the *scratch* buffer.
