(vc-checkout): Added `-p' suffix in call to vc-make-version-backups-p; use vc-make-version-backup to actually make the backup. (vc-version-other-window, vc-version-backup-file): Handle both automatic and manual backups. (vc-revert-file): Use vc-delete-automatic-version-backups to get rid of all of them.

;;; Commentary:

;; This package maintains a menu for visiting files that were operated
;; on recently. When enabled a new "Open Recent" submenu is displayed
;; in the "Files" menu. The recent files list is automatically saved
;; across Emacs sessions.  You can customize the number of recent
;; files displayed, the location of the menu and others options (see
;; the source code for details).  To install and use, put the file on
;; your Emacs-Lisp load path and add the following into your ~/.emacs
;; startup file:
;;
;;  (require 'recentf)
;;  (recentf-mode 1)

;;; Code:

(require 'easymenu)
