There is one difference between my patch and what you committed,
which may or may not have been intentional:
The first line of my patch talked about the "GNU locate program" to
differentiate it from the Emacs `locate' command, as is done in other
places of locate.el. You kept the old "GNU locate command" unchanged.
But now the docstring looks confusing:
"Run the GNU locate command, using an alternate database.
This command only works if you use GNU locate. It does not work
properly if `locate-prompt-for-command' is set to t. In that
case, you can just run the regular `locate' command and specify
the database on the command line."
"This command only works..." now seems to refer to the GNU locate
command, rather than to `locate-in-alternate-database' and
"the regular `locate' command" ccould be interpreted as opposed to
"the GNU locate command".
To summarize, the only difference is:
"Run the GNU locate command, using an alternate database.
was in my patch:
"Run the GNU locate program, using an alternate database.
Sincerely,
Luc Teirlinck.
