To the best of my recollection, on every other *n*x system I've used, emacs automatically refrains from making the backup files (ending with '~') when editing files inside a subversion sandbox. But on Raspbian wheezy, I see "SVN-1106" (example) in the information bar but emacs still drops the ~ files. Any idea why?
Thanks.
