;;; Commentary:

;; Goals:
;;
;; There is a class of front-ending problems that Emacs might be used
;; to address that involves selecting sets of files, or possibly
;; directories, and passing the selection set to slave commands.  The
;; prototypical example, from which this code is derived, is talking
;; to version-control systems. 
;;
;; vc-dispatcher.el is written to decouple the UI issues in such front
;; ends from their application-specific logic. It also provides a
;; service layer for running the slave commands either synchronously
;; or asynchronously and managing the message/error logs from the
;; command runs.
;;
;; Similar UI problems can be expected to come up in applications
;; areas other than VCSes; IDEs and document search are two obvious ones.
;; This mode is intended to ensure that the Emacs interfaces for all such
;; beasts are consistent and carefully designed.  But even if nothing
;; but VC ever uses it, getting the layer separation right will be
;; a valuable thing.

;; Dispatcher's universe:
;;
;; The universe consists of the file tree rooted at the current
;; directory. The dispatcher's upper layer deduces some subset 
;; of the file tree from the state of the currently visited buffer 
;; and returns that subset, presumably to a client mode.
;;
;; The user may be attempting to select one of three contexts: an
;; explicitly selected fileset, the current working directory, or a
;; global (null) context.  The user may be looking at either of two
;; different views; a buffer visiting a file, or a directory buffer
;; generated by vc-dispatcher.  The main UI problem connected with
;; this mode is that the user may need to be able to select any of
;; these three contexts from either view.
;;
;; The lower layer of this mode runs commands in subprocesses, either
;; synchronously or asynchronously.  Commands may be launched in one
;; of two ways: they may be run immediately, or the calling mode can
;; create a closure associated with a text-entry buffer, to be
;; executed when the user types C-c to ship the buffer contents. In
;; either case the command messages and error (if any) will remain
;; available in a status buffer.

It works like Dired, but lists only files under version control, with
the current VC state of each file being indicated in the place of the
file's link count, owner, group and size.  Subdirectories are also
listed, and you may insert them into the buffer as desired, like in
Dired.

All Dired commands operate normally, with the exception of `v', which
is redefined as the version control prefix, so that you can type
`vl', `v=' etc. to invoke `vc-print-log', `vc-diff', and the like on
the file named in the current Dired buffer line.  `vv' invokes
`vc-next-action' on this file, or on all files currently marked.
There is a special command, `*l', to mark all files currently locked."
