List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:7709 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:7709 I've been told that on a file under VC control, a user abort in select-safe-coding-system can lose data. A few days ago, I asked on this list whether anyone could tell me the precise circumstances when this happens. I got no reply. So I've tried to create such a situation myself, but couldn't spot any such problem. I also inspected the code carefully, but couldn't see any potential difficulties. If anyone has any more information on this matter, please let me know.
