Subject: Read-only warning message

Message-ID: <20110517173413.B874851031E@outside.256.com> (raw)

Hello emacs folks,



    This is not a desperate call for urgent help or anything -- this is just something that has bugged me for some time.



    When you make a buffer read-only (via C-x C-q toggle-read-only), and the file in the buffer is under version control, you get a warning message: "File is under version-control; use C-x v v to check in/out".



    Anyone have any idea why?  What earthly relevance could the file's being under version-control have to my toggling the buffer's read-only state?



Thanks,

-- Sue D. Nymme
