]]> Comment on Setting default-directory for Mercurial MQ patches in Emacs by admin http://mnemonikk.org/2010/07/06/setting-default-directory-for-mercurial-mq-patches-in-emacs/comment-page-1/#comment-12000 admin Thu, 10 May 2012 20:23:22 +0000 http://mnemonikk.org/?p=106#comment-12000 Good point. I’m using dired-jump from dired-x, so this isn’t a problem for me. It would be cleaner, but also more complex, to override default-directory only when applying hunks and for diff-goto-source. You could do that with some around advice.

However there is one frustrating side effect: if I do C-x C-f (find-file) while visiting a patch file, the directory that is shown in the mini buffer becomes the parent of .hg. This is frustrating when the original intent is to open another patch file so I have to cd back to .hg/patches/. Is there a way apply this trick only for diff-mode but not to find-file?
Thank you,

i’ve rewritten this tool to support this feature.
it can be found along with an explanation at http://struction.de/projects/dotVC

until my need for that feature using the suggested .htignore hack worked fine.
