; - Changes from version 3 to version 4
;
; More configuration variables are marked as user options.
;
; Code is included for an improved version of make-auto-save-file-name
; which eliminates many problems with the default version.  See the
; documentation of emerge-make-auto-save-file-name to see how to
; activate it.
;
; Emerge now works with Gnu diff3, which can produce the groups of lines
; from the various files in the order 1, 2, 3 or 1, 3, 2.
;
; Added x f command to show what files or buffers are being operated on.
;
; The merge buffer now starts read-only, which being in fast mode it
; should be.
;
; When merging buffers, Emerge writes their contents into temporary
; files in the directory $TMPDIR (if it is defined), or /tmp by default.
;
; Added x j command to join two differences.
;
; Added x s command to split a difference into two differences.
;
; Added emerge-version variable and function to report the version of Emerge
; being run.
;
; Added x t command to trim unchanged lines off top and bottom of
; difference region.
;
; Added x d, x a, and x b commands to locate the differences at or near
; a given location in one of the buffers.
;
; Emerge no longer tries to copy the minor modes from the A buffer to
; the merge buffer, only the major mode.
;
; The programs executed to find the differences between versions of the file
; are no longer controlled by emerge-diff/diff3-command, but rather by:
;   emerge-diff-program
;     Variable: *Name of the program which compares two files.
;   emerge-diff3-program
;     Variable: *Name of the program which compares an ancestor file
;     (first argument) and two variant files (second and third arguments).
;   emerge-diff-options
;     Variable: *Options to be passed to emerge-diff/diff3-program.
;
; The names of the files are expanded (see expand-file-name) before being
; passed to emerge-diff/diff3-program, so diff need not invoked under a shell
; that understands '~', for instance.
;
; If the diff/diff3 program reports errors, the user is notified and the
; errors are displayed.
;
; The command "0j" can be used to suppress the flags from showing in the buffers.
;
; A discussion of the effect of the merge flags on indentation of code
; has been added to the documentation.
;
; If kill-fix.el is loaded, Emerge control variables new have their
; 'preserved' property set, so setting the major mode in the merge
; buffer doesn't destroy Emerge's state.
;
; Added x c, x C, and x x commands to allow the A and B versions to be
; combined into #ifdef - #endif forms.
;
; Replaced calls of "ding" to calls of "error" where appropriate.
;
; Added x m command to allow major mode of merge buffer to be changed.
;
; Added x 1 command to shrink the merge window to one line.
;
; Added emerge-startup-hook to allow customization.
;
; Fixed a bug that is activated when a remote merge request is made when
; the minibuffer window is selected.
;
; - Changes from version 2 to version 3
;
; The directory into which temporary files are written is now controlled
; by a user option (emerge-temp-file-prefix).
;
; The A and B versions of the difference can be loaded into the kill
; ring with the "c a" and "c b" commands.
;
; The A and B versions of the difference can be inserted into the merge
; buffer with the "i a" and "i b" commands.
;
; The difference region of the merge buffer can be surrounded by the
; point and mark with the "m" command.
;
; The three windows can be scrolled together with the "^", "v", "<",
; ">", and "|" commands.
;
; The "s s" and "s a" commands report the state of the option in the
; echo area.  Similarly, the "f" and "e" commands report what they do in
; the echo area.
;
; The "q" command has been revamped, and its behavior is now controlled
; by the manner in which Emerge is started.  In particular, if you wish
; to write the merge buffer into a file upon exiting, invoke
; emerge-files[-with-ancestor] with a prefix argument, and it will
; prompt you for the file name.  Then exiting will write the merge
; buffer to the file, unless "q" is given a prefix argument.
;
; The "i a" and "i b" commands now work in fast mode.
;
; The modifications that Emerge makes to save-buffer and write-file are
; described.
;
; Emerge now handles merging narrowed buffers correctly.
;
; Emerge now isn't fooled when the buffer visiting a file is not the
; same as the file on disk.
;
; - Starting
;
; To start Emerge, you must run one of four commands:
;
; 	emerge-files
; 	emerge-files-with-ancestor
; 	emerge-buffers
; 	emerge-buffers-with-ancestor
;
; The "files" versions prompt you for two file names (the "A" and "B"
; files), the "buffers" versions prompt you for two buffer names (the
; "A" and "B" buffers).  Emerge then runs a "diff" of the two entities
; (emerge-buffers writes the buffers into temporary files for input to
; diff) and digests the output to form a list of the differences between
; the two files.  Then three buffers are set up: two containing the
; entities (emerge-files does a find-file (C-x C-f) on the files to get
; them into buffers), and one, the "merge buffer", which contains the
; working copy of the merged file that you are constructing.  The three
; buffers are put up in a nice three-window display, showing the A and B
; buffers in the upper half and the merge buffer in the lower half.
;
; The versions of the command that say "with-ancestor" ask for a third
; name, that of an entity which is a common ancestor from which the
; versions being merged were derived.  These commands use "diff3" to
; compare all three versions.  If one version of a difference agrees
; with the ancestor, then it is presumed that the other version is the
; "correct" version, and is said to be "preferred".
;
; (Note that if you use emerge-files, Emerge attempts to make sure that
; file on disk and the file in the buffer are the same.  If the file on
; disk has been changed, Emerge offers to revert the buffer.  If the
; buffer has been modified, Emerge offers to save the buffer.  If the
; user declines the offer, or if the file on disk and the buffer have
; both been modified, Emerge aborts with an error message.  Emerge is
; careful to widen the buffers containing the files if they have been
; narrowed.  If you use emerge-buffers, the buffers are not widened --
; only the visible portion is used.)
;
; During the merge, the A and B buffers are read-only, so you don't
; damage them.  (This is because the A and B versions of the differences
; are extracted from these buffers.)  When you quit the merge, the
; read-only/read-write status and modified flag on the A and B buffers
; are restored.  In addition, auto-saving of the A and B buffers is
; suppressed during the merge.  This is because Emerge modifies the A
; and B buffers to point out the text of the differences, and it would
; be useless to save these changes.  (Just before suppressing
; auto-saving, Emerge forces an auto-save.)
;
; If you give a prefix argument to emerge-files or
; emerge-files-with-ancestor, it prompts you for another file name,
; which is the file into which the merged file is to be written when you
; exit Emerge.  The output file name defaults to the A file name.  If
; you successfully quit Emerge, the merge buffer will be written to the
; output file, and the buffers for the A, B, and ancestor buffers will
; be deleted (if they exist and are not modified).  If you abort Emerge,
; the merge buffer will not be written and the buffers will not be
; deleted.
;
; You can have any number of merges going at once -- just don't use any
; one buffer as input to more than one merge at once, since that will
; cause the read-only/modified/auto-save status save-and-restore to
; screw up.
;
; Beware that when Emerge starts up, it does a diff or diff3 of the
; files, which can take many minutes for long files with many
; differences.  Emacs can't do anything else until diff finishes.
;
; If diff or diff3 produces error messages, Emerge will beep and display
; the error messages instead of the merge buffer.  There will be a
; message in the echo area giving the name of the merge buffer.  Note
; that this is really just an informational message -- you still have
; switch to the merge buffer and abort the merge to restore the
; conditions before you ran Emerge.  (Emerge considers any output line
; that does not match the regexp emerge-diff/diff3-ok-lines to be an
; error message.)
;
; After the merge has been set up, Emerge runs the hooks in
; emerge-startup-hook.
;
; - Merging
;
; Once you have started the merge, you manipulate the merge buffer with
; special commands issued in the merge buffer.  You may also edit the
; buffer with ordinary Emacs commands.  Emerge keeps track of each
; difference between the A and B buffers and the corresponding section
; of the merge buffer.  Initially, all differences show the A version,
; except those for which B is preferred (because A agrees with the
; ancestor), which show the B version.  Emerge always has its attention
; focused on one particular difference, which is marked off in the three
; buffers by "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv" above and "^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"
; below.  The number of the difference is shown in the mode line.
;
; A merge buffer can be in two modes: "fast" mode and "edit" mode.  In
; fast mode, emerge commands are single characters, and ordinary Emacs
; commands are disabled.  This makes Emerge operations fast, but
; prevents you from doing more than selecing the A or the B version of
; differences.  In edit mode, all emerge commands must be prefixed with
; C-c, and all (non-conflicting) Emacs commands are available.  This
; allows editing the merge buffer, but slows down Emerge operations.
; Edit and fast modes are indicated by "F" and "E" in the minor modes in
; the mode line.
;
; The Emerge commands are:
;
; 	p	go to the previous difference
; 	n	go to the next difference
; 	a	select the A version of this difference
; 	b	select the B version of this difference
; 	j	go to a particular difference (prefix argument
; 		specifies which difference) (0j suppresses display of
; 		the flags)
; 	q	quit - finish the merge*
; 	f	go into fast mode
; 	e	go into edit mode
; 	s a	set/clear auto-advance mode*
; 	s s	set/clear skip-prefers mode*
; 	l	recenter (C-l) all three windows*
; 	- and 0 through 9
; 		prefix numeric arguments
; 	d a	select the A version as the default from here down in
; 		the merge buffer*
; 	d b	select the B version as the default from here down in
; 		the merge buffer*
; 	c a	copy the A version of the difference into the kill
; 		ring
; 	c b	copy the B version of the difference into the kill
; 		ring
; 	i a	insert the A version of the difference at the point
; 	i b	insert the B version of the difference at the point
; 	m	put the point and mark around the difference region
; 	^	scroll-down (like M-v) the three windows*
; 	v	scroll-up (like C-v) the three windows*
; 	<	scroll-left (like C-x <) the three windows*
; 	>	scroll-right (like C-x >) the three windows*
; 	|	reset horizontal scroll on the three windows*
; 	x 1	shrink the merge window to one line (use C-u l to restore it
; 		to full size)
; 	x a	find the difference containing a location in the A buffer*
; 	x b	find the difference containing a location in the B buffer*
; 	x c	combine the two versions of this difference*
; 	x C	combine the two versions of this difference, using a
; 		register's value as the template*
; 	x d	find the difference containing a location in the merge buffer*
; 	x f	show the files/buffers Emerge is operating on in Help window
; 		(use C-u l to restore windows)
; 	x j	join this difference with the following one
; 		(C-u x j joins this difference with the previous one)
; 	x l	show line numbers of points in A, B, and merge buffers
; 	x m	change major mode of merge buffer*
; 	x s	split this difference into two differences
; 		(first position the point in all three buffers to the places
; 		to split the difference)
; 	x t	trim identical lines off top and bottom of difference
; 		(such lines occur when the A and B versions are
; 		identical but differ from the ancestor version)
; 	x x	set the template for the x c command*
;
; * - more details on these commands are given below
;
; emerge-version is a variable giving the version number of Emerge.  It
; is also a function which displays emerge-version (when called
; interactively) or returns it (when called from a program).
;
; - Differences and their states
;
; A difference can have one of seven states:
;
; A:  the difference is showing the A version.
;
; B:  the difference is showing the B version.
;
; default-A and default-B: the difference is showing the A or B state,
; but has never been selected by the user.  All differences start in the
; default-A state (and thus the merge buffer is a copy of the A buffer),
; except those for which one buffer or another is preferred.  When the
; user selects the difference, it changes to the A or B state.
;
; prefer-A and prefer-B: the difference is showing the A or B state.  In
; addition, the other buffer (that is, for prefer-A, the B buffer; for
; prefer-B, the A buffer) agrees with the ancestor buffer.  Thus,
; presumably, the displayed version is the correct one.  The "a" and "b"
; commands override these states, and turn them into the A and B states.
;
; combined: the difference is showing a combination of the A and B
; states that was constructed by the "x c" or "x C" commands.  Since
; this state is neither the A or B states, the "a" and "b" commands
; won't alter the difference unless they are given a prefix argument.
;
; The state of the currently selected difference is shown in the mode
; line of the merge window:
;
; 	state		display
;
; 	A		A
; 	B		B
; 	prefer-A	A*
; 	prefer-B	B*
; 	combined	comb
;
; - Select default commands (d a and d b)
;
; The d a and d b commands change all default-A's to default-B's (or
; vice-versa) from the selected difference on down to the end of the
; file to default-A or default-B, respectively.  (Since a difference
; that has been selected can not have state default-A or default-B, it
; will never be affected by d a or d b.  This leads to the unexpected
; result that d a or d b never affects the difference selected at the
; moment, but prevents differences that you have already looked at from
; changing unexpectedly.)
;
; If you work your way down from the top of the file, using d a and d b
; at judicious points, you can effectivly make the A version the default
; for some sections of the merge buffer and the B version the default
; for others.
;
; - Exiting (q)
;
; The quit command finishes the merge session by restoring the state of
; the A and B buffers and removing the markers around the currently
; selected difference.  It also disables the Emerge commands in the
; merge buffer, since executing them later could damage the contents of
; the various buffers.
;
; The action of "q" depends on how Emerge was started and whether "q"
; was given a prefix argument.  If there was no prefix argument, it is
; considered a "successful" finish.  If there was a prefix argument, it
; is considered an "unsuccessful" finish.  In either case, you are asked
; to cofirm the exit, and the confirmation message tells which sort of
; exit you are confirming.
;
; If Emerge was started by some other process, success/failure is
; reported to the caller.
;
; If Emerge was started with emerge-files or emerge-files-with-ancestor,
; if a prefix argument was given to that command, then you specified a
; file into which the merge is to be written.  A successful exit writes
; the merge into the output file and then kills the A, B, and ancestor
; buffers (so they aren't lying around to confuse you, since they
; probably all have similar names).
;
; - Auto-advance mode (s a)
;
; If auto-advance mode is set, the "a" and "b" commands perform an "n"
; (select next difference) afterward.  When auto-advance mode is set,
; it is indicated by "A" in the minor modes in the mode line.
; "s a" with a positive argument sets auto-advance, with a non-positive
; argument clears it, and with no argument toggles it.
;
; - Skip-prefers mode (s s)
;
; If skip-prefers mode is set, the "n" and "p" commands skip over
; differences with states prefer-A and prefer-B.  Thus you will only see
; differences for which one version isn't presumed "correct".  When
; skip-prefers mode is set, it is indicated by "S" in the minor modes in
; the mode line.  "s s" with a positive argument sets auto-advance, with
; a non-positive argument clears it, and with no argument toggles it.
;
; - Recenter (l)
;
; The Emerge "l" command causes the selected difference to be brought
; into view in the three windows, or at least, whichever of the three
; merge buffers are visible at the moment.  If a prefix argument is
; given, then the original three-window display is set up before the
; difference texts are shown.
;
; - Scrolling the text (^, v, <, >, and |)
;
; Emerge has several commands which scroll all three windows by the same
; amount, thus allowing you to easily compare the versions of the text.
; The commands are "^" (scroll-up), "v" (scroll-down), "<"
; (scroll-left), ">" (scroll-right), and "|" (reset horizontal
; scrolling).  (Remember that Emacs names scrolling commands by the
; motion of the text with respect to the window, so C-v is called
; "scroll-up".)
;
; If these commands (except "|") are given an argument, that is the
; number of lines or characters by which the windows are scrolled.
; Otherwise, the amount of motion is computed based on the dimensions of
; the merge buffer window -- the height of the merge buffer window
; (minus next-frame-context-lines), or half the width of the merge
; buffer window.  (The A and B version windows are assumed to be as high
; as the merge window, but half as wide.)  If the argument is just `C-u
; -', then the scrolling is half the default amount.
;
; - Finding the difference at or near a location (x d, x a, and x b)
;
; The "x d" command selects the difference containing the current point
; in the merge buffer.  If there is no difference containing the point,
; an error is given.  An argument can be given to the command to change
; this behavior: if the argument is positive (e.g., C-u), the next
; following difference is selected; if the argument is negative (e.g.,
; C-u -), the previous difference is selected.
;
; The "x a" and "x b" commands select the difference containing the
; current point in the A and B buffers, respectively.  Otherwise, they
; act like the "x d" command.  Note that although the point used in the
; commands is not the merge buffer point, the commands can only be
; issued in the merge buffer, because it is the only buffer with the
; Emerge keymap.
;
; - Combining the two versions (x c, x C, and x x)
;
; Sometimes one wants to combine the two versions of a difference.  For
; instance, when merging two versions of a program, one wants to make
; something like this:
;
; 	#ifdef NEW
; 		...new version of code...
; 	#else /* NEW */
; 		...old version of code...
; 	#endif /* NEW */
;
; The "x c" command will make such a combined version.  (Note that any
; combined version is not the same as either the A or B versions, and so
; the "a" and "b" commands will refuse to alter it unless they are given
; a prefix argument.)  The combination is made under control of a
; template, which is a character string with the following
; interpolations:
;
; 	%a	the A version of the difference
; 	%b	the B version of the difference
; 	%%	the character '%'
;
; Thus, the template used above is
;
; 	#ifdef NEW\n%b#else /* NEW */\n%a#endif /* NEW */\n
;
; (using \n here to represent newlines).  The template is stored in the
; variable emerge-combine-versions-template, and its initial value is
; the one given above.  The template can be set (from the current
; region) by the "x x" command.  (Be careful to get the newlines in the
; template in the right places!)  ("x x" was chosen by analogy with "C-x
; x".)  ("x x" is only available in the merge buffer, of course.
; Elsewhere, M-x emerge-set-combine-versions-template can be used.)  If
; "x x" is given a prefix argument, emerge-combine-versions-template is
; localized in the merge buffer before its value is set, so the "x x"
; command's effect (and the effect of any later "x x" command in the
; merge buffer) is only on the merge buffer.
;
; The "x C" command is like "x c", but it prompts for a character
; which is the register whose value is to be used as the template.
; This allows one to use multiple templates conveniently.
;
; - Changing the major mode of the edit buffer (x m)
;
; The "x m" command prompts for the name of a major-mode-setting command
; and executes it.  Ordinarily, major-mode-setting commands change the
; mode line and local keymap, so the "x m" command then resets the
; Emerge mode line and the fast or edit mode local keymap, as
; appropriate.
;
; If you have already changed the major mode of the merge buffer and
; lost the Emerge keymap, you can use M-x emerge-set-merge-mode to
; execute this command.
;
; Beware that "x m" accepts any command name, not just
; major-mode-setting commands.
;
; - Writing the merge buffer manually
;
; Emerge places a wrapper (emerge-query-and-call) on the key bindings of
; save-buffer (usually "C-x C-s") and write-file (usually "C-x C-w"), in
; order to protect the user from writing out the merge before it is
; finished.  Emerge-query-and-call asks the user if he is sure he wants
; to write out the incomplete merge.  If he answers yes, the buffer is
; written out.  The flags are suppressed while the write is being done.
; As a result of this, the displayed portions of the buffers are
; recentered (equivalent to "l").
;
; - Running Emerge standalone
;
; If you invoke emacs with the following arguments, you can execute
; Emerge as a standalone program:
;
; 	emacs -l emerge -f emerge-files-command file-a file-b file-out
;
; 	emacs -l emerge -f emerge-files-with-ancestor-command
; 		file-a file-b file-ancestor file-out
;
; When the user gives the "q" (quit) command, Emerge will write out the
; merge buffer in file-out and terminate Emacs.  If a prefix argument is
; given, Emacs will terminate with an unsuccessful return code (1), if
; not, it will terminate with a successful return code (0).
;
; - Invoking Emerge remotely
;
; If you use the Emacs client/server code that supports remote
; execution, then you can invoke Emerge remotely by executing one of the
; Lisp calls:
;
; 	(emerge-files-remote "file A" "file B" "output file")
;
; 	(emerge-files-with-ancestor-remote "file A" "file B"
; 		"ancestor file" "output file")
;
; Returning a successful/unsuccessful return code is not yet supported
; by the Emacs client/server code.
;
; Beware that in systems of networked workstations, even though all user
; directories are shared between all the workstations, the /tmp
; directory on each workstation is not shared, so writing files into
; /tmp and then remotely invoking Emerge is not likely to work.
;
; - Effect of merge flags on indenting code
;
; The presence of the flags confuses the indentation code of C and
; Emacs-Lisp modes.  Starting the flag strings
; (emerge-{before,after}-flag) with '#' (for C) or ';' (for Lisp)
; prevents the indentation code from noticing the flags.  Remember to
; change the flag strings before loading Emerge, or to execute
; emerge-new-flags after changing them.  But never change the flag
; strings while a merge is being performed.
;
; - Autoloading
;
; The following autoloads will make all top-level Emerge files
; autoloading.  Make sure that "emerge" is in a directory on load-path.
;
; (autoload 'emerge-files "emerge"
; 	  "Run Emerge on two files."
; 	  t)
; (autoload 'emerge-files-with-ancestor "emerge"
; 	  "Run Emerge on two files, giving another file as the ancestor."
; 	  t)
; (autoload 'emerge-buffers "emerge"
; 	  "Run Emerge on two buffers."
; 	  t)
; (autoload 'emerge-buffers-with-ancestor "emerge"
; 	  "Run Emerge on two buffers, giving another buffer as the ancestor."
; 	  t)
; (autoload 'emerge-files-command "emerge")
; (autoload 'emerge-files-with-ancestor-command "emerge")
; (autoload 'emerge-files-remote "emerge")
; (autoload 'emerge-files-with-ancestor-remote "emerge")

;; Improved auto-save file names.
;; This function fixes many problems with the standard auto-save file names:
;; Auto-save files for non-file buffers get put in the default directory
;; for the buffer, whether that makes sense or not.
;; Auto-save files for file buffers get put in the directory of the file,
;; regardless of whether we can write into it or not.
;; Auto-save files for non-file buffers don't use the process id, so if a
;; user runs more than on Emacs, they can make auto-save files that overwrite
;; each other.
;; To use this function, do:
;;	(fset 'make-auto-save-file-name
;;	      (symbol-function 'emerge-make-auto-save-file-name))
(defun emerge-make-auto-save-file-name ()

before calling this function.
