Henrik Lissner 9831642a02 Fix #4993: shorten long file names for caches
Emacs generates long file names for auto-save and backup files.
undo-fu-session and tramp are two more big offenders. This fix SHA1s
their file names so they never exceed 40 characters.

Will also affect any package that uses make-backup-file-name-1
directly (like undo-tree).

emacs/undo

Description

This module augments Emacs' built-in undo system to be more intuitive and to persist across Emacs sessions.

Maintainers

This module has no dedicated maintainers.

Module Flags

  • +tree Uses undo-tree instead of undo-fu, which is a little less stable, but offers branching undo history and a visualizer for navigating it.

Hacks

  • Both undo-fu and undo-tree have been modified to use zstd to compress undo history if it is available.
  • undo-tree only

    • Text properties are stripped from undo history to shrink it.
    • Undo-tree is too chatty about saving its history files. This has be "silenced". i.e. It's visible in \*Messages\*, but won't appear in your minibuffer.
  • unfo-fu only

    • Doom defines undo-fu-mode to make it easier to add hooks/mode-local keybinds.

Prerequisites

This module has no prerequisites.

Configuration

Disabling persistent undo history

  • If you are using +tree:

    (after! undo-tree
      (setq undo-tree-auto-save-history nil))
  • If you aren't:

    (remove-hook 'undo-fu-mode-hook #'global-undo-fu-session-mode)
