Subject: Re: save-buffer: avoid data loss on interrupt
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:27:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1CF9EA79-F15D-4D45-BA1E-D9705BABA95D@gmail.com> (raw)

Since you guys are looking at owner/group issues, I'll mention that it will also clobber ctime on the file and possibly break posix acls. In a former life, I used to care about file ctimes, so maybe someone else does now. I grep'd through emacs/src/*.c and convinced myself that neither emacs nor I care much about posix acls at the moment, but I suppose that could change (or maybe I missed something).
Hope that helps,
*Chad
