Here's a recipe:

- On the shell, create a very large diff, e.g.:

  cvs update gnus.texi
  cp -p gnus.texi /tmp/

  Make sure, that you don't have any valuable changes in gnus.texi!

  cat calc.texi calc.texi calc.texi > gnus.texi

- emacs -Q -f cvs-update

- In Emacs, hit RET.  Move point to gnus.texi and hit `='.

- On the shell:

  rm gnus.texi
  cvs update gnus.texi

- In Emacs, again do `=' on gnus.texi

==> Undo warning appears:

,----[ *Warnings* ]
| Warning (undo): Buffer `*cvs-diff*' undo info was 5641808 bytes long.
| The undo info was discarded because it exceeded `undo-outer-limit'.
| [...]
`----

- Restore gnus.texi

  cp -p /tmp/gnus.texi .

Bye, Reiner.
