* bug#58253: Add a command to show a diff before `M-x recover-this-file' @ 2022-10-02 15:44 Stefan Kangas 2022-10-02 15:58 ` Visuwesh 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Stefan Kangas @ 2022-10-02 15:44 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 58253 Severity: wishlist After a crash with a file with unsaved changes, Emacs says: <foo> has auto save data; consider M-x recover-this-file My usual response if I care enough about the file, and it is not under version control, is to manually make a copy of it, run M-x recover-this-file, save the resulting file, and then check the diff between the resulting file and the copy. It would be useful with a command to show the diff directly from Emacs.
