Re: say where attempt to write backup file was

[Richard Stallman]

    Actually there are a few other things we could do:
    1 - try to keep messages short (which was my original point and is always
        the best solution when it's available).
    2 - use scrolling if the message is larger than the minibuffer
        (IIRC there was some package back in Emacs-20 days that did just that).

This issue arose from my change to put the entire backup file name in
a message.

That message will be visible for most users, so I will keep the
change.
