After `C-x v l' in a CVSed file (e.g. emacs/README), hit `d'
(vc-version-diff).  Instead of showing the diff of this revision, I
got an error: "Autoloading failed to define function vc-version-diff".

To reproduce:

cd /.../cvs-HEAD/emacs/
emacs -Q README --eval '(progn
                         (toggle-debug-on-error)
                         (vc-print-log)
                         (sit-for 10)
                         (log-view-diff (point) (1+ (point))))'


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Autoloading failed to define function vc-version-diff")
  vc-version-diff("/.../cvs-HEAD/emacs/README" "1.60" "1.61")
  log-view-diff(2435 2436)

That is good.  (It is important to ack these messages
when the bug is fixed, because that is how my bug tracker
gets informed.)

Sorry, I can't find you first reminder in the archive (on Gmane).
Already within one day after my initial report, Stefan answered that
it's fixed and I confirmed this (both on the list).

Bye, Reiner.

    Already within one day after my initial report, Stefan answered that
    it's fixed and I confirmed this (both on the list).

I am glad that it was fixed quickly.  Are you trying to suggest I
ought not to have sent the message yesterday, because I should have
REMEMBERED seeing those messages?

I wish I had such a good memory, but I don't.  My unaided memory is
not adequate for keeping track of the status of so many bugs.  So I
use various computer aids.  One is FOR-RELEASE.  The other is a system
that will tell me if a message gets no answer in a certain period.  I
send the message, and ask people to ack when it is dealt with.  If the
message gets no reply, I do not forget about the issue.

If you see such a message, please consider it a bug tracking system.
If the bug is already fixed, please answer the message saying so.
That is the way to inform my bug tracking system to "close the ticket".

No, I just tried to say that I would have ACKed to your initial
reminder if I had seen it.

The only suggestion with regard to your reminders is that it might be
useful to reply to the original message instead of forwarding it.
(IIRC Stefan also suggested it some time ago.)  Thus, your reminder
messages would include the Message-ID of the original mail in the
References header, which would allow (at least Gnus users[1]) to jump
to the original very easily (`^' = gnus-summary-refer-parent-article)
instead of searching for subject and/or author.

If you can't use reply instead of forward, you might include the
Message-ID in the forward headers.

[1] People who don't use Gnus may enter the MID like this
    <http://thread.gmane.org/v9ejff8hhn.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de>
    in their web browser (clicking on "Subject:" in the article frame
    leads to the complete thread).

I will do.

Bye, Reiner.

I try to follow this suggestion, when the original message is on these
lists.  If I ever forget to do this, it was an accident.
