Losing window setup upon Version Control submit

Losing window setup upon Version Control submit

[henning]

Hi,

When I use C-x v v to perform a svn commit a window appears where I can type
my log message after which I do C-c C-c to commit (the log-edit-done)
function. When this has executed my window configuration is lost and I have
only the window with the file I tried to commit left. I often work with
multiple windows and find this very annoying, am I using the function wrong
or is there a way to avoid this behavior?

from emacs -Q

- open file under svn control
- Split window C-x 3 
- C-x v v 
- type log message and do C-c C-c, file is committed and split window has
disappeared

Version:
GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2008-05-03 on
terranova, modified by Ubuntu

Thanks, Henning

I use the following functions for ediff mode.  I have added them to
the hooks that start and finish ediff mode.  It looks like there are
some hooks for log-edit-mode start and finish as well, but I don't use
VC so I'm not 100% sure.

(defun push-window-config ()
  "Save the current window layout"
  (interactive)
  (unless (boundp 'window-config-stack)
    (setq window-config-stack '()))
  (push (current-window-configuration) window-config-stack))
(defun pop-window-config ()
  "Restore the most recently saved window layout"
  (interactive)
  (if (boundp 'window-config-stack)
      (unless (eq window-config-stack '())
        (set-window-configuration (pop window-config-stack)))))

thanks, looks like what I need but the VC-log doesn't seem to be starting any
particular modes so it requires some hacking of the vc-start-entry function.
Was hoping for a simpler solution :)
