Re: Emacs and Monotone problems
Thanks Stephen for your detailed and complete answer, may I quote your it in
the Debian BTS for 590262 ? In order people can have a work around
alternative ?
Can you also put your monotone version available @ ada-france ? I'll be
pleased to give a try to DVC.
Thanks in advance, xavier
