Subject: [PATCH v2 2/9] emacs: Refresh hello whenever the user switches to the
	buffer
Date: Tue,  3 Sep 2013 17:45:18 -0400
Message-Id: <1378244725-18846-3-git-send-email-amdragon@mit.edu>
In-Reply-To: <1378244725-18846-1-git-send-email-amdragon@mit.edu>

Precedence: list

Previously, we refreshed hello when the user quit a search that was
started from hello.  This is fine assuming purely stack-oriented
buffer use, but is quite fragile and requires hacks to search.

This replaces that logic with a new approach that refreshes hello
whenever the user switches to the hello buffer, regardless of how this
happens.
