Subject: When suggesting a file recovery, emacs should maybe check for actual changes
Date: Sun, 02 Oct 2022 15:33:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wn9i73ks.fsf@autistici.org> (raw)
After an unclean shutdown, I opened a file, say main.c. Emacs said that
the file had auto-save data and suggested a recover-this-file. But upon
checking, #main.c# was byte-by-byte identical to main.c.
Maybe emacs should check that the auto-save file is not identical before
suggesting a recover-this-file. Do you agree?
