Revision: [e-mail]--gnu-2004/emacs--unicode--0--patch-35 Fix damage caused by trunk merge in emacs--unicode--0--patch-15 Some files in the emacs--cvs-trunk--0 branch had their arch id-tag changed from tagline to explicit [because they were used as template files, and their syntax didn't accommodate stripping comments, so the the generated files caused id-tag conflicts when an in-tree build was done]. Unfortunately arch doesn't handle id-tag changes well, so this resulted in the files appearing to be deleted, and then added again. When that changeset was merged into the unicode branch, it resulted in unicode-specific changes being dropped, and the trunk version being added. To fix this, I restored these files to their pre-merge versions (from emacs--unicode--0--patch-14), and then manually reapplied all changes from: (1) the unicode branch from the bogus merge point to the current version (emacs--unicode--0--patch-15 - emacs--unicode--0--patch-34) (2) the trunk from the bogus merge point to the latest version which was merged into the unicode branch (emacs--cvs-trunk--0--patch-218 - emacs--cvs-trunk--0--patch-522) and fixed any conflicts (mostly due to doubly-applied patch hunks that patch couldn't detect).

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
