Re: [Orgmode] org-mode, vc, and read-only files:

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Raman,

I sure could wrap the relevant parts in org-cycle with 
inhibit-read-only, but so far I cannot reproduce the error.  When I am 
loading a write-protected file,  I am getting a "Note: file is write 
protected."  This note is delivered as a message only, and after that 
everything proceeds normally.  In the buffer I seem to be able to use 
org-cycle freely even though it is write protected.  I think this is 
because outline-mode uses overlays, not text properties.  So I am 
guessing that it is not org-cycle which causes the error.

Can you give me more hints as to what the problem really is?  Maybe an 
example file that hits the error and produces a backtrace?

Thanks.

- Carsten
