No it won't. It'll be like that until every line that has had whitespace changes ceases to be current. That could take decades. There's still plenty of GNU Emacs that comes from the first check-in to version-control in 80s. Perhaps vc-region-history is the answer, as Stefan says, I haven't used it. But, as he says, it only works on git. BR, Robert Thorpe
