Re: Proposed patch - Better choice of default for gtags-visit-rootdir

It was reproduced. Sure, it is a bug.
Your fix will be included in the next version of GLOBAL.
Thank you for the report and code!

(reproduce procedure)

[Shell command line]
$ cp /dev/null main.c
$ ls
main.c
$ emacs -f gtags-mode main.c

[Emacs mini buffer]
M-x gtags-visit-rootdir[ENTER]
v
Visit root directory: /tmp/test/[ENTER]
v
/tmp/test/main.c is not directory.      <= MYSTERIOUS ERROR

Regards,
Shigio
