Fair enough. How about
The usual way to set this variable is globally, through your init
file or the customization buffer. However, you can set
‘version-control’ locally in an individual buffer to control the
making of backups for that buffer’s file (*note Locals::). Some
packages, such as Rmail, override the global setting of
‘version-control’ this way. You can also have Emacs set
‘version-control’ locally whenever you visit a given file (*note File
Variables::).
