But that's just it - you can't. At least I've not seen a way to open a file on a repository using emacs and the "standard" packages. Not directly. I know you meant a file in your working copy, but that sorta brings out my point - what if you don't have a working copy of the repo? What if you do but you don't want to have to visit a wc file first, then open the repository-side file? What if your wc file has nothing to do with the repository-side file you want to open? Sure, I could check the file out into a wc, then visit the file, but that's like saying you could scp a file over, then edit it - who needs tramp? In other words, there are great advantages doing this using the standard visit-file mechanism of emacs, not the least of which is convenience, but in this case much more. Let me tell you where I'm going with this. If tramp provided the requested functionality, then this would greatly enrich ediff. I could directly ediff two files on a repository. In my work (and I think many others'), this would be EXTREMELY useful. -- Randy Yates Digital Signal Labs http://www.digitalsignallabs.com _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
