Subject: non-working make-backup-file-name-function var in 21
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 13:15:51 -0700	[thread overview]

I wrote a customized make-backup-file-name-function and found that it
wasn't being called. I think the v21 changes to support backup-dir
functionality introduced this problem. Here's a diff of files.el that
I think fixes it:

--- files.el.old	2002-08-26 13:09:17.000000000 -0700
+++ files.el	2002-08-26 12:56:32.000000000 -0700

 	       (base-versions (concat (file-name-nondirectory basic-name)
 				      ".~"))
 	       (backup-extract-version-start (length base-versions))

The problem was that make-backup-file-name-1 was called directly which
bypasses the check for a customized make-backup-file-name-function.
