- Hello.
-
- I don't want to make back-up files most cases so
- I have put (setq make-backup-files nil) in my .emacs.
- It works fine, however, it also makes version-control disabled.
-
- I like (setq version-control nil) very much and I want to
- apply the same concept to a single (non-numbered) backup file.
-
- If there is numbered backups, keep making new numbered backups.
- If there is only one (~) backup, then generate single backup copy.
- If there is no backup at all, don't make any backup.
-
- I can think of using write-file-hooks variable but
- I have no idea on lisp code. And I have tried to look
- at the manual and FAQ in vain.
-
- Please help me.
- Thanks in advance.
- June-Yub Lee
