| 30 | ;; Automatically save place in files, so that visiting them later |
| 31 | ;; (even during a different Emacs session) automatically moves point |
| 32 | ;; to the saved position, when the file is first found. Uses the |
| 33 | ;; value of buffer-local variable save-place to determine whether to |
| 34 | ;; save position or not. |
| 35 | ;; |
| 36 | ;; Thanks to Stefan Schoef, who sent a patch with the |
| 37 | ;; `save-place-version-control' stuff in it. |
