60 The first time you save a particular file in one editing session,
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
61 the old file is copied or renamed to serve as a backup file.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
62 In the past, the name for the backup file was made by appending `~'
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
63 to the end of the original file name.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

parents:
diff changeset
64
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

65 Now the backup file name can instead be made by appending ".~NN~" to
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
66 the original file name, where NN stands for a numeric version. Each
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
67 time this is done, the new version number is one higher than the
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
68 highest previously used.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

parents:
diff changeset
69
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

70 Thus, the active, current file does not have a version number.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
71 Only the backups have them.

73 This feature is controlled by the variable `version-control'. If it
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
74 is `nil', as normally, then numbered backups are made only for files
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
75 that already have numbered backups. Backup names with just `~' are
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
76 used for files that have no numbered backups.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

diff changeset
77
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

78 If `version-control' is `never', then the backup file's name is
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
79 made with just `~' in any case.

80
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

81 If `version-control' is not `nil' or `never', numbered backups are
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

82 made unconditionally.

84 To prevent unlimited consumption of disk space, Emacs can delete
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
85 old backup versions automatically. Generally Emacs keeps the first
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
86 few backups and the latest few backups, deleting any in between.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
87 This happens every time a new backup is made. The two variables that
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
88 control the deletion are `kept-old-versions' and `kept-new-versions'.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
89 Their values are, respectively, the number of oldest backups to keep
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
90 and the number of newest ones to keep, each time a new backup is made.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
91 The value of `kept-new-versions' includes the backup just created.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
92 By default, both values are 2.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

93
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

parents:

94 If `trim-versions-without-asking' is non-`nil', the excess middle versions
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
95 are deleted without a murmur. If it is `nil', the default, then you
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
96 are asked whether the excess middle versions should really be deleted.

a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

99 and oldest few of every numeric series of backups. `kept-old-versions'
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
100 controls the number of oldest versions to keep, and `dired-kept-versions'
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
101 controls the number of latest versions to keep. A numeric argument to
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
102 the `.' command, if positive, specifies the number of latest versions
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
103 to keep, overriding `dired-kept-versions'. A negative argument specifies
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
104 the number of oldest versions to keep, using minus the argument to override
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

105 `kept-old-versions'.

109 Emacs now locks the files it is modifying, so that if
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
110 you start to modify within Emacs a file that is being
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

111 modified in another Emacs, you get an immediate warning.

112
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

113 The warning gives you three choices:
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
114 1. Give up, and do not make any changes.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

115 2. Make changes anyway at your own risk.
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

116 3. Make changes anyway, and record yourself as

117 the person locking the file (instead of whoever
a473fce1ed3a *** empty log message ***

121 when you try to change the buffer that is visiting the file.
