When I use tramp to edit a file in a subversion directory by doing ssh onto a SUN workstation, it seems to automatically switch on the vc-svn mode. It then keeps failing, with the message vc-do-command: Running svn...FAILED (status 127) If I switch on 'Enter debugger on error' from the options menu and try to save a file I have modified (/ssh:nilas:/data/jrd/occamd/AGN_MODEL/SUBVERSION/SOURCE/Makefile), I get a trace ending with: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Running svn...FAILED (status 127)") signal(error ("Running svn...FAILED (status 127)")) error("Running %s...FAILED (%s)" "svn" "status 127") vc-do-command(t 0 "svn" "/ssh:nilas:/data/jrd/occamd/AGN_MODEL/SUBVERSION/SOURCE/Makefile" "status" "-v") apply(vc-do-command t 0 "svn" "/ssh:nilas:/data/jrd/occamd/AGN_MODEL/SUBVERSION/SOURCE/Makefile" ("status" "-v")) vc-svn-command(t 0 "/ssh:nilas:/data/jrd/occamd/AGN_MODEL/SUBVERSION/SOURCE/Makefile" "status" "-v") vc-svn-registered("/ssh:nilas:/data/jrd/occamd/AGN_MODEL/SUBVERSION/ SOURCE/Makefile") apply(vc-svn-registered "/ssh:nilas:/data/jrd/occamd/AGN_MODEL/SUBVERSION/SOURCE/Makefile") The important thing when i am working remotely is to be able to edit files; being able to perform the svn actions from emacs is not so crucial, so if anybody can tell me an easy way to switch off the vc-svn mode, that would be very helpful as a start. I can edit the file OK if I do it through drag & drop & Samba. However, as I use fortran *.F and *.f files, & samba is case insesnitive, emacs eventually becomes confused. Hence I prefer tramp. Incidentally, now does the vc-svn mode compare with the psvn.el available at http://www.xsteve.at/prg/vc_svn/ ? The svn commands from this do seem to work with the older version emacs (21.3.50 I think) that we have on the SUNs. Any ideas appreciated. George Nurser.
