Re: [emacs-wiki-discuss] Re: Planner mode C-c C-x changes "o" to "X"

Hi Sacha/Damien,

I guess this puts us off topic from emacs-wiki and derivatives, but ...

In CVS, I can do a cvs status on the file, grep for the version, and
then publish the file on a server with the file suitably renamed to
contain that version string. I've not used arch, and have wanted to
experiment with it.  Are you saying that arch does not allow you to
get at the version of a single file in a similar fashion?
