;;; Commentary:

;; Users are encouraged to add functionality to this file.
;; The present file contains all the infrastructure needed for that.
;;
;; Generally, to implement a new multisession capability within Ediff,
;; you need to tell it
;;
;;	1. How to display the session group buffer.
;;	   This function must indicate which Ediff sessions are active (+) and
;;	   which are finished (-).
;;	   See ediff-redraw-directory-group-buffer for an example.
;;	   In all likelihood, ediff-redraw-directory-group-buffer can be used
;;	   directly or after a small modification.
;;	2. What action to take when the user clicks button 2 or types v,e, or
;;	   RET.  See ediff-filegroup-action.
;;	3. Provide a list of pairs or triples of file names (or buffers,
;;	   depending on the particular Ediff operation you want to invoke)
;;	   in the following format:
;;	  	(HEADER (nil nil (obj1 nil) (obj2 nil) (obj3 nil))
;;                                 (...) ...)
;;         The function ediff-make-new-meta-list-element can be used to create
;;         2nd and subsequent elements of that list (i.e., after the
;;         description header). See ediff-make-new-meta-list-element for the
;;         explanation of the two nil placeholders in such elements.
;;
;;         There is API for extracting the components of the members of the
;;         above list. Search for `API for ediff-meta-list' for details.
;;
;;	   HEADER must be a list of SIX elements (nil or string):
;;             (regexp metaobj1 metaobj2 metaobj3 merge-save-buffer
;;              comparison-function)
;;         The function ediff-redraw-registry-buffer displays the
;;	   1st - 4th of these in the registry buffer.
;;         For some jobs some of the members of the header might be nil.
;;         The meaning of metaobj1, metaobj2, and metaobj3 depend on the job.
;;         Typically these are directories where the files to be compared are
;;         found.
;;	   Also, keep in mind that the function ediff-prepare-meta-buffer
;;	   (which see) prepends the session group buffer to the descriptor, so
;;	   the descriptor becomes 7-long.
;;	   Ediff expects that your function (in 2 above) will arrange to
;;	   replace this prepended nil (via setcar) with the actual ediff
;;	   control buffer associated with an appropriate Ediff session.
;;	   This is arranged through internal startup hooks that can be passed
;;	   to any of Ediff major entries (such as ediff-files, epatch, etc.).
;;	   See how this is done in ediff-filegroup-action.
;;
;;	   Session descriptions are of the form
;;            (nil nil (obj1 . nil) (obj2 . nil) (obj3 . nil))
;;         which describe the objects relevant to the session.
;;         Use ediff-make-new-meta-list-element to create these things.
;;         Usually obj1/2/3 are names of files, but they may also be other
;;         things for some jobs.  For instance, obj3 is nil for jobs that
;;         involve only two files.  For patch jobs, obj2 and obj3 are markers
;;     	   that specify the patch corresponding to the file
;;         (whose name is obj1).
;;         The nil's are placeholders, which are used internally by ediff.
;;	4. Write a function that makes a call to ediff-prepare-meta-buffer
;;	   passing all this info.
;;	   You may be able to use ediff-directories-internal as a template.
;;	5. If you intend to add several related pieces of functionality,
;;	   you may want to keep the function in 4 as an internal version
;;	   and then write several top-level interactive functions that call it
;;	   with different parameters.
;;	   See how ediff-directories, ediff-merge-directories, and
;;	   ediff-merge-directories-with-ancestor all use
;;	   ediff-directories-internal.
;;
;; A useful addition here could be session groups selected by patterns
;; (which are different in each directory).  For instance, one may want to
;; compare files of the form abc{something}.c to files old{something}.d
;; which may be in the same or different directories.  Or, one may want to
;; compare all files of the form {something} to files of the form {something}~.
;;
;; Implementing this requires writing a collating function, which should pair
;; up appropriate files.  It will also require a generalization of the
;; functions that do the layout of the meta- and differences buffers and of
;; ediff-filegroup-action.
