Re: Incorporating patches into GNU Emacs

[Bill Wohler]

Here's a specific example from bug.gnu.emacs: A patch from an Emacs user
who hasn't signed papers. Are you telling me that a) you'll ignore it,
or b) you'll really go through all the trouble of getting Gustav to sign
papers in order to use it?

p.s. Is there an Emacs Maintainers Manual where all this stuff is neatly
summarized?


From: Gustav Hållberg <address@hidden>
Subject: vc-annotate does not copy truncate-lines from the origin buffer
If you have set truncate-lines in a buffer, it would make a lot of sense for
the vc-annotate command to use that setting in the newly created annotation
buffer too (the same could probably be said for other variables too, but this
is the one I was being annoyed by right now).

Suggested patch attached.
