The reason for CVS in the subject line is that I saw the problem originally with a file managed by CVS. Then a week or so ago I decided to investigate why a VC version backup file was not made. Since I was editing a file in the Emacs sources, I investigated using that file. However, that file is managed with bzr, not CVS. I did not realize that this made a difference, because the message about VC version backup files didn't say they were only needed for CVS. This made my investigation irrelevant. I didn't try vc-diff with that file, I just assumed vc-diff needed the VC backup file, as I was told. It seems vc-diff does in fact work with this file. I will need to investigate some other time using a CVS file, when I have a connection that permits updating from Savannah. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
