I often use vc log and then f (log-view-find-revision) to view a<br />
specific revision of a file.<br />
<br />
The problem is the file is checked out to the same directory as the<br />
original file with a backup file name (~, polluting the directory with<br />
such files if multiple versions are perused.<br />
<br />
These are backup files, the vc function uses that name too<br />
(vc-version-backup-file-name), so their placements should honor<br />
backup-directory-alist which is currently ignored.
