And what if the user intentionally _hasn't_? The point is that this works correctly in the most common case but it does absolutely _nothing_ to handle cases where the user knows better than the autodetect logic. OK, here's an automatic example that hits you where you live. Text file. Autodetect EOL. In the repository, somebody global-replaces LF with CRLF. Buffer needs reversion, your algorithm gets it wrong. The best thing I can think of is to save the buffer to a temporary file and compare that with the file on disk. Use insert-file-contents-literally if you're going to do in an in Emacs buffer. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
