25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Automatically save place in files, so that visiting them later
28 ;; (even during a different Emacs session) automatically moves point
29 ;; to the saved position, when the file is first found. Uses the
30 ;; value of buffer-local variable save-place to determine whether to
31 ;; save position or not.
33 ;; Thanks to Stefan Schoef, who sent a patch with the
34 ;; `save-place-version-control' stuff in it.

38 ;; this is what I was using during testing:
