A stale cache is bad, of course. We must carefully check, where a cached value has to be invalidated. But why should vc-working-revision being invalidated after saving? It is still the same, I believe. Switching to another branch shall be observed by Emacs, 'cause there is another version of the file on the disk, and Emacs warns you before editing.This won't happen in following cases: 1) We switch to revision when the opened file is the same. 2) It doesn't exist there. 3) We just delete it from disk from outside of Emacs. So the file isn't changed, and you see no warning or update, even after you write it to disk from Emacs again.I see. Maybe we find a hook, where we could invalidate the vc cache when a file is written which does not exist on the disk?
(vc-before-save) might be the place to do that.
And the latter two cases (the last one - with a small modification) are the only situations I can think of when an open buffer in which (vc-git-registered) returned t some time ago (so it has vc-backend property set to Git) now should return nil. But the properties won't be reset, so the cached value will be outdated. Can you describe a scenario in which 'git-registered cached value will be invalidated, and the function will then return nil?When the file is removed from git outside Emacs. In this case, git-registered must be nil.
I meant, would that happen with your patch? If vc-before-save would invalidate the cache, that should be ok.
P.S. I can't find a way to apply context diff with my current setup, so if it's not too hard, please send a unified one next time.I try to remember. The Emacs maintainers prefer context diffs, that's why ediff-custom-diff-options is set to "-c" by default.
How important is that, I wonder? It's what CONTRIBUTE says, but I've seen many of the diffs posted in unified format, and no one ever asked me to convert a patch specifically into context format.
