That should be enough for now---hopefully GNU Emacs 21.2 will be
available for long enough. I accept Steve's ruling on the matter.
The main reason for my complaint was that *I* did the original port of
diff-mode which pcl-cvs and dired (which I also did) depend on, and I
was expecting to some day to do further work on those. So I was only
being selfish---I didn't expect you to create .upstream versions of
other files.
OK. I'll leave diff-mode.el.upstream in the Attic and keep the other
.upstreams I added yesterday around (at least until the changes make it
to the author versions).
When there are local changes, .upstream files help a great deal. I
had a bitch of a time porting a newer version of pcl-cvs due to the
absence of them.
Yes, I can imagine that.
