* vc1-xtra.texi: Move nodes VC Directory Mode and VC Directory Commands to files.texi. Move contents of vc2-xtra.texi here. * vc2-xtra.texi: File removed. * vc-xtra.texi (Advanced VC Usage): Remove VC Directory Mode and VC Directory Commands from the submenu. Don't include deleted file vc2-xtra.texi. * files.texi (Visiting): Document find-file-confirm-nonexistent-file. (Version Control): Add VC Directory Mode and VC Directory Commands to the submenu. (Why Version Control?): Use table format. (Version Control Systems): Note that Meta-CVS support is gone. (VCS Concepts): Note precisely when VC started supporting filesets. Remove bogus xref to CVS Options node. (Types of Log File): Copyedits. (VC Mode Line): Document tooltips and mouse-1 on VC indicator. (Basic VC Editing): Content moved from Selecting A Fileset and Doing The Right Thing. (Selecting A Fileset, Doing The Right Thing): Nodes deleted. (Log Buffer): Reorganize node, putting C-c C-c description first. (Old Revisions): Use CVS for example, not RCS. (Secondary VC Commands): Remove VC Directory Mode and VC Directory Commands from the submenu, putting them under Version Control. (VC Directory Mode): Move node contents here from vc1-xtra.texi; we need to include it in the manual unconditionally, since it is now crucial to using distributed version control systems.
