Subject: bug#25125: 25.1; copyright-fix-years pollutes undo history
Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:00:58 +0100

I have setup `copyright-update' to run every time I save a file in prog-mode:

  (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook
            (lambda ()
              (add-hook 'before-save-hook
                        (lambda ()
                            (save-excursion (copyright-fix-years))))))

Every time it runs in a file that has a copyright, a change is recorded into the
undo history, even if the function performed no changes at all (i.e., the
copyright years were already correct).

This makes it quite annoying to go back my modifications history, since it keeps
jumping up and down between the header and the actual code.

Thanks,
  Lluis
