(vc-directory): Kill existing vc-dired buffers for this directory. Provide a better header. Corrected the check whether any files were found at all (don't display a listing in this case). Under CVS, display cvs-status rather than vc-locking-user. (vc-next-action-on-file): When doing a check-in in vc-dired-mode, find the file in another window. (vc-next-action-dired): Update dired listing while processing the files. (vc-next-action): Check whether a check-in comment is really needed for this mass operation. (vc-checkout): Resynch the buffer, even if it's not current. (vc-dired-state-info, vc-dired-update-line): New functions. (vc-dired-prefix-map): Added local definition for `g' and `='. (vc-dired-reformat-line): Simplified. Erase the hardlink count from the listing, because it doesn't relate to version control. (vc-rcs-release, vc-cvs-release, vc-sccs-release): New variables, may be set by the user. (vc-backend-release, vc-release-greater-or-equal, vc-backend-release-p): New Functions. (vc-do-command): Allow FILE to be nil. (vc-backend-checkin): When creating a branch, don't bother to unlock the old version if this is RCS 5.6.2 or higher. (vc-next-action-on-file): Allow lock-stealing only if RCS 5.6.2 or higher. (vc-backend-admin, vc-backend-checkin): If available, use ci -i and -j. Updated Developer's Notes.
