Subject: Fix some make-directory bugs
X-Git-Tag: emacs-26.0.90~199
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf9891e14e48a93bca2065fdd7998f5f677786dc;p=emacs.git

Fix some make-directory bugs

* lisp/files.el (files--ensure-directory): New function.
(make-directory): Use it to avoid bugs when (make-directory FOO t)
is invoked on a non-directory, or on a directory hierarchy that
is being built by some other process while Emacs is running.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--make-directory): New test.
