I don't know why I wrote CVS in the subject -- habit took over, I suppose. I have a vague memory of seeing it a few weeks ago with CVS in editing gnu.org web pages, but this bug report is with bzr. Maybe rms has somehow ended up with a lightweight checkout, or a stacked branch, or some other non-standard form of bzr repository that does not actually keep all the data locally. What does `bzr info' report in the local copy? Repository checkout (format: 2a) Location: repository checkout root: . checkout of branch: bzr+ssh://rms@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/ shared repository: /home/rms/emacs-bzr I set up my repository as recommended in BzrQuickStartForEmacsDevs. I chose this because it is the simplest, both to set up and to use in practice, and also the most similar to CVS. vc-diff should support it correctly. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
