Hi all,

I found my Emacs using a fill-column value of 85 while hacking on the
guix source tree.

Turns out it's an interaction between the emacs package
editorconfig-mode (which I use). Easy workaround: turn this mode off
when hacking on guix.

A contradiction between .dir-locals.el and the .editorconfig file in
guix exists:

max_line_length of 85 in .editorconfig for most files in guix
vs
fill-column of 78 in dir-locals.el for all files in guix

I don't know which of these values is supposed to be leading, or whether
they configure the exact same thing in all situations.

Cheers,
Jelle

I'm curious about this as well. From the submission thread [1], it
seems to have been discussed on IRC, and I think it happened here [2].

Thanks
