The docstring and Elisp documentation of `read-directory-name' conflict. Docstring:
Default name to default-dirname if user exits with the same non-empty string that was inserted by this function. (If default-dirname is omitted, dir combined with initial is used, or just dir if initial is nil.) Elisp manual: If both DEFAULT and INITIAL are `nil', this function uses the current buffer's default directory as substitute default, ignoring DIRECTORY. >From the following ielm run it appears that the Elisp documentation is still correct, even though the code and docstring have changed (on April 23) since I checked all of this quite a while ago: ELISP> default-directory "~/" ELISP> (read-directory-name "Directory: " "/etc/") "~/" ELISP> To get the second line, I just presses RET with /etc/ in the minibuffer.
