Here's what I did: A wait what do you mean you have not set up numbered backups, maybe this already is the difference.

Which is the expected behavior. > Maybe try with git and see if you can reproduce the problem? I did and yes the problem also occurs in git, so the problem is my setting not git/mercurial, which is good. > If not, I'd suspect either that the tex file is not under VC > or there is some incompatibility between mercurial and the > emacs vc package. > Also, there are two ways to make a backup (renaming and copying - > I use copying) and maybe the method you use is incompatible with > mercurial. Maybe you can try the other method: check the setting > of `make-backup-by-copying'. I have a relatively recent version of GNU emacs master, but cannot find the variables make-backup-by-copying. Could you please explain. I had however backup-by-copying set nil, now it is t, but still the behavior is the same. So maybe it boils down to what you said at the beginning > I'm not using numbered backups https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Numbered-Backups.html Ok I had Version-control set to t. I changed it to nil: no change I changed it to never: emacs now makes test.tex~ instead of test.tex.~1~ I am running out of ideas. Where is the mistake?
