Subject: 23.0.91; ediff-revision via TRAMP broken
Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:15:39 -0400

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

On a Mac, open an svn-controlled file via TRAMP to a Linux machine.
`M-x ediff-revision <RET> <RET> <RET>'

This was the backtrace:

Unfortunately, the byte code does not show exactly the function where the
error appears. OTOH, there were some problems in Tramp setting file
permissions, when `file-modes' of a certain file returned nil. I've made
Tramp more robust in this case. Could you, please, check with a recent
Emacs 23.0.92 (checkout shall be newer than this message)?

Best regards, Michael.

I'm testing the latest snapshot from http://porkrind.org/emacs/ 
index.cgi right now; I'll get back to you.
