This is from the emacs manual from the section (Version Control->Remote Repositories->Version Backups): "Version Backups ............... When VC sees that the CVS repository for a file is on a remote machine, it automatically makes local backups of unmodified versions of the file--"automatic version backups". This means that you can compare the file to the repository version (`C-x v ='), or revert to that version (`C-x v u'), without any network interactions." Here is some extra information from the section (Version Control->Remote Repositories): "Remote Repositories ------------------- A common way of using CVS is to set up a central CVS repository on some Internet host, then have each developer check out a personal working copy of the files on his local machine. Committing changes to the repository, and picking up changes from other users into one's own working area, then works by direct interactions with the CVS server. One difficulty is that access to the CVS server is often slow, and that developers might need to work off-line as well. VC is designed to reduce the amount of network interaction necessary." So it would seem that this feature of making local backups is only enabled for remote repositories. You should probably get the elisp files and find where emacs checks to see if a repository is local or remote and disable the check. You may also get better results by posting to the newsgroups: gnu.emacs.help and comp.emacs Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.crasseux.com
