If I change the file, save it, and remove it afterwards, the changes
are lost.  Between saving and removing must be the commit,
otherwise, the VCS can't restore the file.

In contrast to that, a backup file stores the last save instead of
the last commit.  And because this may help in some cases, I suggest
to change the default value of vc-make-backup-files.

Tschö,
Torsten.
