Re: [PATCH] Kludge to make vc-svn.el work with Ediff (compare file with revision)

Hi Julian,

Sure I can run 'svn cat -r #### file >new-name; chmod -w new-name', but when
I ask ediff to diff between a working copy file and a revision it issues the
vc-svn-checkout command to retrieve the revision. When diffing between two
files, this problem does not exist since I would have to create my own
filenames.

Where you commenting about the vc-svn.el code or the fact that I even tried
to modify it?

bye,

Erik.
