[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
To edit system configuration files, I'd like to use tramp's su:: or
sudo::. What blocks me to do that is that I have versioned /etc (with
etckeepr over Git) and I need to commit the performed changes
afterwards.
When not inside su::/sudo:: I often commit stuff in Git repositories
using vc-mode. That unfortunately does not work under tramp's
su::/sudo::. Trying to do that results in vc-dir hanging forever just
after the "found remote shell on ..." message and the correspondent
"waiting" message in the vc buffer if I stop Emacs with C-g.
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers
