Subject: "make autoloads" asks a question
Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:40:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83pqqnu2hu.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
If you have several dired.el~N~ files in your lisp/ directory, and
dired-x.el or dired-aux.el were modified, then "make autoloads" will
will update dired.el, and Emacs will ask a question about deleting
excess backup versions of dired.el, when it is about to save dired.el.
At least on MS-Windows, the question is not shown, but Emacs still
waits for a single character.
Is it appropriate for Emacs to ask this question in this context?
Should batch-update-autoloads bind version-control to `never', to
avoid this?
