I should have learned this mode a long time ago, but never had a real need for it... would like to give it a go now though. So how would I: - Get from some cvs site the latest version of tramp...? the full package rather than just the diffs? - Later on, get the diffs and merge them into the version I have? I would imagine that ange-ftp would work (as the background "vehicle") to retrieve the files, yes? IOW, I wouldn't need tramp in order to retrieve a later version of tramp... or? tmia, ken kgold at 21:30 (UTC-0000) on 13 Feb 2003 said: = = Some CVS things I like: = = C-x v v can check out and in within emacs, using an emacs buffer to = edit the change log. = = C-x v = diffs the current and checked in version. = = C-x v g can look at the last checked in file and have the changes = highlighted in color with date, user, and version. = = C-x v l gives me the change log. = = C-x v ~ checks out old versions. = = And all the buffers created by the above can be edited with the full = power of emacs.
