Subject: Need vc-make-backup-files-when-linked
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 06:47:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gpqjf6$5kk$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
It is commonly recommended to use cp -al to make local clones when using
mercurial. emacs will not break the hard links when files are edited,
because vc-make-backup-files is usually nil.
We should have vc-make-backup-files-when-linked, which defaults to t, so that
emacs will normally break the links. This is the behavior users will
expect.
