It's probably much better if you use Bazaar, Mercurial or Git (or Subversion I guess if you have to ;-) to get a branch / clone of the Emacs part of the Subversion repository and then use symbolic links from ~/.emacs.d/ to all the .el files. This way you can update the branch/clone and Emacs automatically picks up the update. > I've also installed the code completion stuff, which is very well > explained in this article: > http://www.scala-lang.org/node/354 I have never been convinced of all the code completion things that people seem to rave about / can't do without in Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA and NetBeans. For me they are intrusive popups that just slow me down.

Personally I would avoid editing anything other than init.el or custom.el files for this sort of configuration.
