You don't have to.  See below.

IIUC you can start the git checkout emacs binary and the local
installation with:

  $ /path/to/git/checkout/src/emacs --daemon=git
  $ emacs --daemon=local

and use `emacsclient -s git' or `emacsclient -s local' to connect to the
daemon you want to use.

I discovered it late.  I would have re-vised my comments if only I
could see my posts on this list sooner that it usually appears.

I don't work on remote machines across a network connection.  I was
asking more like:

    "Does the `-a' option take a full path.  For eg, can the daemon
    use my git checkout binary or the local installation?"

You can set the variable `server-name' on the Emacs server and use the
`-s' option of emacsclient.  (Although it's not supported on
MS-Windows.)

Is something wrong with --eval?

Some doubts I had while using emacsclient:

1. Can I control what emacs (i.e., from which path) the emacs daemon
   will be loaded from.

2. I had to use the "-F" option to keep the client frame maximized.
   It is not obvious how to pass in an ALIST on command line.  I was
   wondering if there is an use case where the client would need an
   init script of it's own.  This tiny script can store FRAME params
   for example.

So, frame maximization and an init script is a __behaviour__ that both
the emacsclient and regular emacs possibly share.

I had the same thoughts recently and found that, of course, there is
already an open report for it.

So I'm just chiming in very late to say that I agree with pretty much
everything you said, and I would like to see a patch for this.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I've just been drawn back to look at this bug. Another way of looking at
it: currently, "Emacs 24" is the default application for many text
filetypes under GNOME. For many users, this is annoying, as it starts a new
instance of Emacs each time.

I have configured "emacsclient" as a text editor in my system (this does
not seem to be available by default), but I then still have to configure it
as the default editor for each file type in Nautilus.

One option would be to offer "emacsclient" as the default, but that's also
confusing, for users who don't know about emacsclient.

So again, it would be good if emacsclient were folded into emacs. I just
had a look at their respective command-line options, and I can't see any
that clash (where the same option is used for both programs, it's used for
the same thing).

What would remain is to add options --[no]client to force "emacs" to [not]
behave as "emacsclient", and decide a sensible default policy. A sensible
place to start seems to be to behave like emacsclient when called with
--alternate-editor="", that is, try to connect to a server, and if one
can't be found, start normally (emacsclient would instead run "emacs
--daemon" here and try to connect to it).

Regardless of whether anyone feels like hacking on this, I'd like to know
whether it's a tractable design problem (have I missed anything major?) and
clikely to be accepted. If so, I might be up for hacking on it.

Sometimes a behavior is so obviously good that it is really a bugfix,
and no option is needed. For all the rest, the alternative to options
is "please use the defaults that I find more useful". Hard to do for
every value of "I" greater than one.

As for the rest, my comment meant just that I don't find this change
worth the trouble. YM obviously V, and I'm sure there are developers
who agree with you.

Exactly, that is the problem.

It is certainly worth the trouble. Emacs is an extremely powerful
editor with an amazing wealth of functionality. In recent years there
has been some excellent work on making more of this work out of the
box, but far too much is still left untapped by most users. I am a
constant and moderately advanced user of Emacs, but there are many
exciting and potentially useful features I have never even tried
simply because I have not the time to configure them. Working out how
to activate powerful new features out of the box without either
confusing new users or annoying existing users is often tricky, but
once a feature has been introduced and found useful, it's pretty much
an essential step in order to make it widely available.

As an example, look how many users still complain of Emacs's "lack" of
features found in other IDEs. Actually, many of these features are
available in Emacs, but they take time to set up. This means that many
users don't get to see them, and, just as important, the packages
themselves don't get the feedback or polish they deserve. One example
is CEDET, whose code comprehension and refactoring capabilities I've
tried to use more than once, but have always come up against minor
bugs which made it unusable for me. Another is nXhtml, which I use
despite some annoying minor bugs (fortunately for my use they are
mostly cosmetic), thanks to significant one-to-one help from the
author.

It would be unfair of me not to point out that Emacs is much better in
this regard than it was a few years ago (I remember when even syntax
coloring was off by default!), but it still suffers from
configurationitis worse than any other program I use regularly, and
unfortunately there is still a mentality of "that can be fixed by
adding an option". There are far too many options!

Simpler than using emacsclient -a "" or the emacs daemon?

But what you're talking aboutis  saving a few keystrokes once... It is
possible to use Emacs out of the box, but even users without time or
expertise will have to set up more than that to make effective use of
Emacs, I think.

Doesn't seem worth the trouble to me, but that's just MHO.

Of course, a shell script could do the task, it just would be good to
have out of the box. Given the amount of effort that has already gone
into making it possible to use emacsclient (e.g. ALTERNATE_EDITOR and
its magic behavior when it exists but is empty), it seems worth
pursuing making things simpler. Here, I'm after a solution that means
that one can set EDITOR=emacs, and it will just DTRT, i.e. start Emacs
if not already started, or use emacsclient otherwise.

All the required behavior already exists, but it's still necessary to
use emacsclient and set up some environment variables to make it all
work; it should be possible to do pretty much everything out of the
box, which would give users who don't have the time or expertise to
set everything up access to the same convenience and functionality.

Isn't that the kind of thing that's easily done with a shell script?
(I certainly do much more complicated things to start emacs /
emacsclient with Windows' CMD.EXE, which is far less powerful that any
POSIX shell...)

At present, =E2=80=9Cemacsclient=E2=80=9D is a reasonable replacement for =
=E2=80=9Cemacs=E2=80=9D, in
that emacsclient can be configured to run emacs in daemon mode if it=E2=80=
=99s
not already running. But it is longer to type, harder to learn, and even
after years of use, I find I have trouble remembering, sometimes to use
it. It also looks odd to use emacsclient rather than emacs in
configuration files like /etc/mailcap. In short, it=E2=80=99s yet another t=
hing
to remember.

Most web browsers fix this problem nicely by using the same command to
start the browser as to open a new window in that browser. It would be
nice if emacs did the same, i.e. if emacs had a -client flag which made
it work like emacsclient. Even if it did something as simple as passing
the remaining arguments to emacsclient.
