Subject: numbered backups & version-control
Date: Fri, 3 Nov 95 11:58:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9511031058.AA04463@sunthpi3.sunthpi> (raw)
I am a big fan of numbered backups (i.e. setting `version-control' to
`t'). I find it very useful for files I am editing.
But it is really too much for files generated automatically, such as
`.newsrc.eld' and `.newsrc'. rmail mode solves this by never making
numbered backups of mail files (by making `version-control' local to
the buffer and setting it to `never').
I would like a similar behavior from gnus (maybe as an option,
although I can't see anybody needing six old versions of `.newsrc.eld'
backed up).
It should be very easy to implement, probably I can implement it
myself :-)
