Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
Do the special dance with the destination only if it is a
directory name, for consistency with copy-file etc. (Bug#27986).
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Create/Delete Dirs):
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
* lisp/files.el (copy-directory): Treat NEWNAME as special
only if it is a directory name.
This changes the behavior of rename-file etc. slightly.
The old behavior mostly disagreed with the documentation, and had
a race condition bug that could allow attackers to modify victims'
write-protected directories (Bug#27986).
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Changing Files): Document that in
rename-file etc., NEWFILE is special if it is a directory name.
* etc/NEWS: Document the change in behavior.
* src/fileio.c (directory_like): Remove. All uses removed.
(expand_cp_target): Test only whether NEWNAME is a directory name,
not whether it is currently a directory. This avoids a race.
(Fcopy_file, Frename_file, Fadd_name_to_file, Fmake_symbolic_link):
Document behavior if NEWNAME is a directory name.
(Frename_file): Simplify now that the destdir behavior occurs
only when NEWNAME is a directory name.
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test11-copy-file)
(tramp-test12-rename-file, tramp--test-check-files):
Adjust tests to match new behavior.
This lets Emacs deal with arbitrary local symlinks without
mishandling their contents (Bug#28156). For example,
(progn (shell-command "ln -fs '~' 'x'") (rename-file "x" "/tmp/x"))
now consistently creates a symbolic link from '/tmp/x' to '~'.
Formerly, it did that only if the working directory was on the
same filesystem as /tmp; otherwise, it expanded the '~' to
the user's home directory.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-get-filename): Use files--name-absolute-system-p
instead of rolling our own code.
* lisp/files.el (files--name-absolute-system-p): New function.
(file-truename, file-chase-links): Use it to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
(copy-directory, move-file-to-trash):
Use concat rather than expand-file-name, to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_symbolic_link): Do not expand leading "~" in the
target unless interactive. Strip leading "/:" if interactive.
(emacs_readlinkat): Do not prepend "/:" to the link target if
it starts with "/" and contains ":" before NUL.
* test/src/fileio-tests.el (try-link): Rename from try-char,
and accept a string instead of a char. All uses changed.
(fileio-tests--symlink-failure): Also test leading ~, and "/:",
to test the new behavior.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Lexical Binding): The future is here.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming): Use @w{..} around
constructs that could be split between lines, but shouldn't.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming):
New section, split off from Misc File Ops and containing the
operations that copy, name or rename files. This fixes some
confusion caused by the incorrect phrase "The same rule applies
to all the remaining commands in this section" in the old manual.
This change does not affect the confusion about directories (see
Bug#27986 for ongoing discussion).
The extra message text turned out to be quite annoying in practice,
and is generally more trouble than it's worth. Also revert several
related changes.
Partially revert "Handle `write-region' messages in Tramp properly"
Revert "New var write-region-verbose, default nil"
Revert "* src/fileio.c (write_region): Don't say "1 characters". (Bug#26796)"
Revert "Minor tuneup of write-region change"
Revert "Adjust write-region so file name is at the beginning again"
Revert "Fix handling of non-integer START param to write-region"
Revert "Output number of characters added to file (Bug#354)"
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Misc File Ops):
* etc/NEWS:
* lisp/epa-file.el (epa-file-write-region):
* lisp/gnus/mm-util.el (mm-append-to-file):

* src/fileio.c (write_region, syms_of_fileio):
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test10-write-region): Remove
extra characters from file writing messages.
By popular demand, write-region char counts are now off by default
(Bug#26796).
* src/fileio.c (write-region-verbose): New Lisp var.
(write_region): Output char count only if the var is non-nil.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Misc File Ops), etc/NEWS: Document this.
This reacts to confusing behavior of 'auto-save-visited-file-name',
cf. Bug#25478.
* lisp/files.el (auto-save-visited-interval): New customization option.
(auto-save-visited-mode): New global minor mode.
(auto-save-visited-file-name): Make obsolete.
(auto-save--timer): New internal helper variable.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Auto Save Files): Document
'auto-save-visited-mode' instead of obsolete
'auto-save-visited-file-name'.
(Auto Save Control): Document customization option
'auto-save-visited-interval'.
