GNU Info (tramp)Changed workfilesDetecting if the working file has changed ========================================= As there is currently no way to get access to the mtime of a file on a remote machine in a portable way, the `vc-workfile-unchanged-p' function is advised to call an TRAMP specific function for remote files. The `tramp-vc-workfile-unchanged-p' function uses the functioning VC diff functionality to determine if any changes have occurred between the workfile and the version control master. This requires that a shell command be executed remotely, a process that is notably heavier-weight than the mtime comparison used for local files. Unfortunately, unless a portable solution to the issue is found, this will remain the cost of remote version control. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
