Any suggestions? > version = GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf, GTK+ Version > 2.24.10) of 2012-09-13 on build03.raspbian.lan, modified by Debian I've found two variables that control this sort of thing, but vc-make-backup-files is nil on both machines, & vc-handled-backends has the same value (RCS CVS SVN SCCS Bzr Git Hg Mtn Arch) on both. Is there anything else, maybe a missing file or package, that might explain why emacs on Raspbian is making the backup files in svn?
