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.
