Glenn Morris mentioned Bug#15539's user-emacs-directory issue here:
https://bugs.gnu.org/583#68
... so this email is giving you a heads-up that I recently installed a patch
into GNU Emacs master that should allow something approximating Bug#15539's
requested behavior. For example, one can run Emacs like this:
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/rms/.config emacs
to employ user rms's Emacs configuration, instead of your configuration.
The patch I installed did not do anything special to fix bug#15539, as the new
Emacs behavior is a natural fallout of supporting the XDG spec's requirements
for XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
This all assumes people are using the XDG-conforming locations for config files,
which I hope is good enough since older Emacs obviously wasn't meeting the
Bug#15539 need anyway.
