-
- I have the following in my .emacs
-
- (setq version-control t)
- (setq kept-new-versions 2)
- (setq kept-old-versions 2)
-
- This uses numerical save versions (bleh.~21~ and so forth). It will
- leave the two oldest (smallest numbered) versions alone, and
- prompt-to-delete excess new versions, keeping 2 before prompting.
-
- as a hook in some modes (like vm), I have the following line
-
- (make-variable-buffer-local 'trim-versions-without-asking)
- (setq trim-versions-without-asking t)
-
-
- Hope this helps.
