vc-annotate is giving me a similar error as was reported earlier for
vc.el revision 1.408:
(file-error "Cannot open load file" "vc-nil")
This occurs because I have specified a default annotate mode of
'fullscale, and the `vc-annotate-display-autoscale' function still
relies on the variable `vc-annotate-backend' to call the appropriate
backend time functions I wrote years ago. This was formerly a global
variable, but Stefan's changes to `vc-annotate' circa 1.408 made it buffer
local:
(with-current-buffer temp-buffer-name
(set (make-local-variable 'vc-annotate-backend) (vc-backend file))
(set (make-local-variable 'vc-annotate-parent-file) file)
(set (make-local-variable 'vc-annotate-parent-rev) rev)
(set (make-local-variable 'vc-annotate-parent-display-mode)
display-mode))
That snippet immediately follows this:
(with-output-to-temp-buffer temp-buffer-name
(vc-call annotate-command file (get-buffer temp-buffer-name) rev))
So could the problem be that those variables are set _after_ the
annotate buffer contents have been inserted and displayed (via
temp-buffer-show-function -> vc-annotate-display-select)? Shouldn't
they be set before?
For whatever reason, these are not currently being set in the annotate
output buffer, which breaks the auto-scaling annotation display, since
it doesn't know the backend to use. I haven't figured out how the
buffer-local variables are being lost. Other annotate display modes
don't have backend-specific functions, so they continue to work.
Are you sure they're not being set at all, vs. being set too late?
