Auto-save buffers quietly

quiet-save.el

This is a fork of kentaro/auto-save-buffers-enhanced.

I forked it for four main reasons:

1. To shorten the name.
2. To learn Emacs Lisp from such a small code base.
3. To remove obsolete features like SVK support.
4. To remove unrelated features like saving scratch.

"quiet" means you don't have to type C-x C-s periodically and you don't see "Wrote filename" in the echo area.

quiet-save borrows many codes from the following site/software:

• http://homepage3.nifty.com/oatu/emacs/misc.html
• https://github.com/cask/shut-up
• recentf.el

To use quiet-save, just add the following code into your .emacs:

(require 'quiet-save)
(quiet-save-mode)

If you want quiet-save to work only with the files under the directories checked out from Git or Mercurial, add the following code into your .emacs:

(setq quiet-save-vc-root-backends '(git hg))
(setq quiet-save-keep '(quiet-save-vc-root))
