Subject: auto save of remote files
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2002 14:51:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yeb7knv1l74.fsf@xpc21.ast.cam.ac.uk> (raw)
In emacs-21.2, `auto-save-file-name-transforms' is defined in files.el as
follows:
(defcustom auto-save-file-name-transforms
`(("\\`/[^/]*:\\(.+/\\)*\\(.*\\)"
,(expand-file-name "\\2" temporary-file-directory)))
" ...
The default value is set up to put the auto-save file into the
temporary directory (see the variable `temporary-file-directory') for
editing a remote file."
This means that a remote file of the form:
/HOST:/dir1/foo.el
will be transformed to
/tmp/foo.el
If one simultaneously edits a second remote file with the same basename,
but in a different directory, for example:
/HOST:/dir2/foo.el
then it is transformed to the same local file.
Maybe auto-save could use the same trick as `make-backup-file-name-1' here.
When all backups are to be put in the same directory, they are converted as
follows:
/path/to/dir1/foo.el -> /path/to/backups/!path!to!dir1!foo.el
