Subject: Diagnose load-path only if interactive
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=78527a74851088b4420f30c152f95f7fcfca9826;p=emacs.git

Diagnose load-path only if interactive

* lisp/startup.el (command-line): Warn about dubious
user-emacs-directory and load-path only if interactive, as that’s
where warning helps and the warnings just complicate batch usage
(e.g., -Q).

(cherry picked from commit b01b521717bed33323142aa791a22d46b8af11ad)
