Exactly what the subject says. ssh transport; the remote system is using AFS as the filesystem, so changes aren't necessarily committed until a close() or sync() is done.
A remote file that starts out like this: first several lines second several lines third ... fourth ... fifth ... ends up being mangled into something like this: first second first second first second third fourth fifth though the precise location within the file where the old contents (appear to be) truncated and the new contents (appear to) begin is not quite as consistant as the above would imply. Using the scp transport with the CVS version [needed for password support] does not have this issue; indeed, it works quite well except for the interminable reprompting for my password -- but perhaps this is trivially disablable; I haven't looked at the docs all that hard. I'm not on the list, so please CC me on replies. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
