Subject: emacs not creating backup ~ files to file under git control. Why not?
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2015 21:17:25 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <27653b12-9e83-48cf-8834-1b84675709a1@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I was working on a file and it created backups as usual. However I noticed that when i decided to put it under git countrol and created a git directory, then emacs stops to create a backup file~ ever since then.

So to test, i created a new directory and edited a file in it and it creates a backup in the directory.

Then I deleted the file~ then I did 

git int 
in the directory and then did 
git add file
then i edited the file and now it does not create then file~.
Why not and what code controls this to shut it off?
