(vc-rcs-show-log-entry): New function. (vc-rcs-checkin, vc-rcs-checkout): Don't set all properties. (vc-rcs-register): If there is no RCS subdir, ask the user whether to create one. (vc-rcs-state-heuristic): Use file-ownership-preserved-p. (vc-rcs-checkout): Remove the error-handling for missing-rcs. (vc-rcs-state-heuristic): Don't use file-writable-p. (vc-rcs-print-log): Insert in the current buffer. (vc-rcs-diff): Insert in the current buffer and remove unused arg CMP. (vc-rcs-workfile-unchanged-p): Use vc-do-command instead of vc-simple-command. (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state): Removed check for unlocked-changes to avoid doing a diff when opening a file. (vc-rcs-state): Added check for unlocked-changes. (vc-rcs-header): Escape Id. (vc-rcs-workfile-unchanged-p): Remove optional arg VERSION. (vc-rcs-state): Call vc-workfile-unchanged-p, not the RCS-specific version. (vc-rcs-state-heuristic): Use file-writable-p instead of comparing userids. (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state): Handle the case where rcs is missing. Simplify the logic by eliminating unreachable code. (vc-rcs-diff): Only pass `2' to vc-do-command if necessary and just do a recursive call if we need to retry. (vc-rcs-checkout): Handle the case where rcs is missing by making the buffer read-write if requested and re-signalling the error. (vc-rcs-find-most-recent-rev): New function. The code derives from the old vc-parse-buffer but uses the revision number rather than the date (much easier to compare robustly). (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state): Use `with-temp-buffer'. Adapt to the new vc-parse-buffer (and vc-rcs-find-most-recent-rev). Find the locking-user more directly. Check strict locking and set checkout-model appropriately. (vc-rcs-parse-locks): Remove. (vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p): Use with-temp-buffer and adapt to the new vc-parse-buffer (and vc-rcs-find-most-recent-rev). (vc-rcs-system-release): Use with-current-buffer and vc-parse-buffer. (vc-rcs-register, vc-rcs-checkout): Use with-current-buffer. Merge in code from vc-rcs-hooks.el. Don't require 'vc anymore. (vc-rcs-responsible-p): Use expand-file-name instead of concat and file-directory-p instead of file-exists-p. (vc-rcs-exists): Remove. (vc-rcs-header): New var. Update Copyright. (vc-rcs-rename-file): New function. (vc-rcs-diff): Remove unused `backend' variable. (vc-rcs-clear-headers): New function; code moved here from vc-clear-headers in vc.el. (tail): Provide vc-rcs and remove vc-rcs-logentry-check. (vc-rcs-register): Parse command output to find master file name and workfile version. (vc-rcs-checkout): Removed call to vc-file-clear-masterprops. Require vc and vc-rcs-hooks. (vc-rcs-trunk-p, vc-rcs-branch-part): Move to vc-rcs-hooks. (vc-rcs-backend-release-p): Remove (use vc-rcs-release-p). (vc-release-greater-or-equal-p): Move from vc. (vc-rcs-trunk-p, vc-rcs-branch-p, vc-rcs-branch-part, vc-rcs-minor-part, vc-rcs-previous-version): Remove duplicates. (vc-rcs-checkout): Add a missing `new-version' argument in the call to vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p. Hopefully that was the right one. (vc-rcs-steal-lock): Renamed from `vc-rcs-steal'. Updated everything to use `vc-checkout-model'. (vc-rcs-backend-release-p): function added. other stuff updated to reference this function instead of the old `vc-backend-release-p'. (vc-rcs-logentry-check): Function added. (vc-rcs-checkin, vc-rcs-previous-version) (vc-rcs-checkout): Name space cleaned up. No more revision number crunching function names that are not prefixed with vc-rcs. (vc-rcs-checkout-model): Function added. References to `vc-checkout-model' replaced. (vc-rcs-admin): Added the query-only option as required by the vc.el file. (vc-rcs-exists): Function added. (vc-*-checkout): Use with-temp-file instead of /bin/sh. Merged from mainline (vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p): Moved to vc-rcs-hooks.el. (vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p, vc-rcs-trunk-p) (vc-rcs-branch-p, vc-rcs-branch-part, vc-rcs-minor-part) (vc-rcs-previous-version): Functions added. (vc-rcs-diff): Function added. (vc-rcs-checkout) Bug (typo) found and fixed. (vc-rcs-register-switches) Variable `vc-rcs-register-switches' added. Require vc when compiling. (vc-rcs-print-log, vc-rcs-assign-name, vc-rcs-merge) (vc-rcs-check-headers, vc-rcs-steal, vc-rcs-uncheck, vc-rcs-revert) (vc-rcs-checkin): New functions (code from vc.el). (vc-rcs-previous-version, vc-rcs-system-release, vc-rcs-checkout): Doc fix. (vc-rcs-release): Deleted. (Duplicated vc-rcs-system-release). (vc-rcs-trunk-p, vc-rcs-branch-p, vc-rcs-branch-part) (vc-rcs-minor-part, vc-rcs-previous-version, vc-rcs-release) (vc-rcs-release-p, vc-rcs-admin, vc-rcs-checkout): New functions from vc.el. (vc-rcs-system-release): Renamed from vc-rcs-backend-release.

This directory tree holds version 20.0 of GNU Emacs, the extensible,
customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.

You may encounter bugs in this release.  If you do, please report
them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to the FSF, since
they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or
in code we don't use often.  See the file BUGS for more information on
how to report bugs.

See the files `etc/NEWS' and `etc/news.texi' for information on new
features and other user-visible changes since the last version of
Emacs.

The file INSTALL in this directory says how to bring up GNU Emacs on
Unix, once you have loaded the entire subtree of this directory.

The file etc/PROBLEMS contains information on many common problems that
occur in building, installing and running Emacs.

Reports of bugs in Emacs should be sent to the mailing list
[e-mail].  See the "Bugs" section of the Emacs
manual for more information on how to report bugs.  (The file `BUGS'
in this directory explains how you can find and read that section
using the Info files that come with Emacs.)  See `etc/MAILINGLISTS'
for more information on mailing lists relating to GNU packages.

The `etc' subdirectory contains several other files, named in
capital letters, which you should look at when installing GNU Emacs.

The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the
oddities of your processor and operating system.  It creates the file
`Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the
process of building and installing Emacs.  See INSTALL for more
detailed information.

The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to
construct the `configure' script.  Since Emacs has configuration
requirements that autoconf can't meet, `configure.in' uses an unholy
marriage of custom-baked configuration code and autoconf macros; it
may be wise to avoid rebuilding `configure' from `configure.in' when
possible.

The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create
`Makefile'.

The file `make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar
file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files
appropriate for distribution.  If you make extensive changes to Emacs,
this script will help you distribute your version to others.

There are several subdirectories:

`src' holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and its
    primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing functions).
`lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else).
`lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by
    or with Emacs, like movemail and etags.
`etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files
    Emacs uses, like the tutorial text and the Zippy the Pinhead quote
    database.  The contents of the `lisp', `info' and `man'
    subdirectories are architecture-independent too.

`info' holds the Info documentation tree for Emacs.
`man' holds the source code for the Emacs manual.

   Note that the Emacs Lisp manual sources are distributed separately.
(They are twice as large as the Emacs manual in the man subdirectory.)

`msdos' holds configuration files for compiling Emacs under MSDOG.
`vms' holds instructions and useful files for running Emacs under VMS.
`nt' holds various command files and documentation files that pertain
    to running Emacs on Windows NT.
