Hi Anders! We now have a mailing list for xtla.el. I send a cc of this mail to the mailing list. You can subscribe to the list via: https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xtla-el-dev
> Hi Stefan > > Since the last mail I have been very pleased with the progress og > xtla.el. First there seems to be a broken link on your homepage: > http://xsteve.nit.at/prg/emacs/index.php. The link to your arch archive > of xtla.el doesn't work. You cannot browse the archive via a browser. But you can register it via xtla.el: M-x tla-register-archive <RET> http://xsteve.nit.at/tla <RET> > There are some things that I think would make it even greater. > > 1) Tla can fail while doing an update and applying your local changes > (eg. if nfs creates a temp. file), this will leave you with a ,,undo-X > folder. If you don't see that you might loose your changes and happily > continue working on a version without all the work you have just done. > It's actually very easy to miss with all the spam generated by tla :) I > propose that after update you check if a ,,undo-X (normally X is 1) dir > exists and if it does you ask the user if he wants to apply his changes > again. Maybe also have this check when committing. A question to my contributors: Do we have (planned) something like that. > 2) A way to specify which files to commit (maybe I have just not found > this function yet). Matthieu: Can this be done from the inventory buffer, if you mark the wanted files? If so: We should provide at least a good docstring to tell about that feature. > 3) A way to specify that you want do automaticly generate a cacherev > every X revisions. We could add the information to the bookmarks file. What do the others think? > 4) Some like file-diff-rev from the aba which gives you the changes to a > file between two specified revisions using the following: > > diff -u $(tla file-find file.cpp $(tla > tree-version)--patch-X) $(tla file-find file.cpp $(tla > tree-version)--patch-Y) A nice idea. I have put it on the todo list. > It's pretty inefficient but it's nice to have I think. > > Thanx for a great piece of software! Great, that you like it. Stefan.
