I have written the following code that uses the Emacs vc-* commands to generate
a commit log. I would like the output of this code to be included when my file
is exported.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var limit=""
;; Most of this code is copied from vc.el vc-print-log
(when (vc-find-backend-function (vc-backend (buffer-file-name (current-buffer)))
'print-log)
(let* ((limit (if (numberp limit) limit vc-log-show-limit))
(vc-fileset (vc-deduce-fileset t)) ;FIXME: Why t? --Stef
(backend (car vc-fileset))
(files (cadr vc-fileset)))
(with-temp-buffer
(vc-call-backend backend
'print-log
files
(current-buffer))
(sit-for 5 t)
(buffer-string))))
#+end_src
What is happening is;
1) The code between #+begin_src and #+end_src is exported and not the result
of evaluating the code (the commit log).
2) I have to add at delay of at least 5 seconds (set-for 5 t) as vc-git calls
"git log" as an asynchronous process. If not for the delay then babel
immediately returns an empty buffer and the "vc-call-backend" process never
completes.
How can I fix (1).
Is there a better way that I can accomplish (2) ?
Thanks,
-Luke
