bug#69930: 29.1; onedrive

[Stephen Vavasis]

Emacs does not work properly with the version-history feature of
Microsoft's OneDrive cloud file system.  The situation arises for a file
on the C: drive of my Windows machine that sits inside the OneDrive
cloud-sync'd folder.  When I edit a file like this on my Windows machine
with emacs, the OneDrive version-history shows only the latest version.
It seems that the Emacs save-button CTRL-X CTRL-S causes OneDrive to
discard older versions.  Older versions of the file can still be found
in the Recycled folder in the cloud.  This is not an ideal place for
them because Recycled is not easily searched, file names can collide,
and Recycled is periodically purged.
