29 | ;; Automatically save place in files, so that visiting them later |
30 | ;; (even during a different Emacs session) automatically moves point | |
31 | ;; to the saved position, when the file is first found. Uses the | |
32 | ;; value of buffer-local variable save-place to determine whether to | |
33 | ;; save position or not. | |

35 | ;; Thanks to Stefan Schoef, who sent a patch with the |
36 | ;; `save-place-version-control' stuff in it. | |
