(vc-next-action-on-file): Do not visit the file if it's not necessary. If verbose in state `needs-patch', do the same as under `up-to-date'. When NOT verbose and `needs-patch', check out latest version instead of `merge-news'. (vc-next-action-dired): Don't mess with default-directory here; it breaks other parts of dired. It is the job of the backend-specific functions to adjust it temporarily if they need it. (vc-next-action): Remove a special CVS case. (vc-clear-headers): New optional arg FILE. (vc-checkin, vc-checkout): Set properties vc-state and vc-checkout-time properly. (vc-finish-steal): Call steal-lock, not steal, which doesn't exist. (vc-print-log): Use new backend function `show-log-entry'. (vc-cancel-version): Do the checks in a different order. Added a FIXME concerning RCS-only code. (vc-responsible-backend): New optional arg `register'. (vc-default-could-register): New function. (vc-dired-buffers-for-dir, vc-dired-resynch-file): New functions. (vc-resynch-buffer): Call vc-dired-resynch-file. (vc-start-entry, vc-finish-logentry, vc-revert-buffer): Use vc-resynch-buffer instead of vc-resynch-window. (vc-next-action-dired): Don't redisplay here, that gets done as a result of the individual file operations. (vc-retrieve-snapshot): Corrected prompt order. (vc-version-diff): Use `require' to check for existence of diff-mode. (vc-do-command): Doc fix. (vc-finish-logentry): When checking in from vc-dired, choose the right backend for logentry check. (vc-dired-mode-map): Inherit from dired-mode-map. (vc-dired-mode): Local value of dired-move-to-filename-regexp simplified. (vc-dired-state-info): Removed, updated caller. (vc-default-dired-state-info): Use parentheses instead of hyphens. (vc-dired-hook): Use vc-BACKEND-dir-state, if available. (vc-dired-listing-switches): New variable. (vc-directory): Use it, instead of dired-listing-switches. (vc-revert-buffer): Hide the frame for dedicated windows (vc-update-changelog): Split into generic part and default implementation. Doc string adapted. (vc-default-update-changelog): New function. Call the `rcs2log' script in exec-directory, to fix a long-standing nuisance. (vc-next-action-on-file): Doc fix. (vc-maybe-resolve-conflicts): Don't just toggle smerge-mode. (vc-print-log): Eval `file' before constructing the continuation. (vc-next-action-on-file): Corrected several messages.

Make the minibuffer message slightly less terse. (vc-comment-search-reverse): Make it work forward as well. Don't set vc-comment-ring-index if no match is found. Use vc-new-comment-index. (vc-comment-search-forward): Use vc-comment-search-reverse. (vc-dired-mode-map): Don't inherit from dired-mode-map since define-derived-mode will do it for us. Bind `v' to a keymap that inherits from vc-prefix-map so that we can bind `vt' without binding C-x v t. (vc-retrieve-snapshot): Parenthesis typo. (vc-create-snapshot, vc-default-create-snapshot): Swap DIR and NAME. (vc-retrieve-snapshot): Split into two parts. (vc-default-retrieve-snapshot): New function.

(vc-next-action-on-file): Use vc-revert-buffer to revert when there are no changes. (vc-prefix-map): Move the autoload to vc-hooks.el and move the `fset' outside of the defvar so that it works even if vc-prefix-map was already defined. (vc-setup-buffer): New function, split out of vc-do-command. (vc-do-command): Allow BUFFER to be t to mean `just use the current buffer without any fuss'. (vc-version-diff): Change the `diff' backend operation to just put the diff in the current buffer without erasing it. Always use (vc-workfile-unchanged-p): If checkout-time comparison is not possible, use vc-BACKEND-workfile-unchanged-p. (vc-default-workfile-unchanged-p): New function.

(vc-do-command): Use file-relative-name. (vc-responsible-backend): Use vc-backend if possible. (vc-create-snapshot): Improve the `interactive' spec. Add support for branches and dispatch to backend-specific `create-snapshot'. (vc-default-create-snapshot): New function, containing the bulk of the old vc-create-snapshot. (vc-retrieve-snapshot): Improve the interactive spec. (vc-do-command): Get rid of the `last' argument. (vc-header-alist): Remove, replaced by vc-X-header. (vc-insert-headers): Use vc-X-header instead of vc-header-alist. (vc-dired-hook): Use expand-file-name instead of concat. (vc-directory): Use file-name-as-directory. (vc-snapshot-precondition, vc-create-snapshot) (vc-retrieve-snapshot): Allow the command to operate on any directory. Update Copyright and add a crude list of backend funs. (vc-writable-p): New function. (with-vc-file): Use vc-writable-p. (vc-next-action-on-file): Update call to vc-steal-lock and cleanup. (vc-register): Avoid vc-name. (vc-locking-user): Remove.

(vc-annotate-mode): Turned into a derived-mode. (vc-annotate-add-menu): Moved in code in vc-annotate-mode-variables. (vc-update-change-log): Use make-temp-file if available.

(vc-workfile-unchanged-p,vc-diff,vc-version-diff): Updated to use the vc-BACKEND-diff functions instead; `vc-diff' is now working. Typo fixed. This checkin is made with our new VC code base for the very first time. A simple `(vc-checkin (buffer-file-name))' was used to perform it. (vc-checkin): Merged with `vc-backend-checkin' and updated to match the split into various backends. (vc-backend-checkin): Removed. Merged with `vc-checkin'. (vc-retrieve-snapshot): Bug fix. (vc-next-action-on-file): Bug found and fixed. (vc-checkout, vc-version-other-window, vc-retrieve-snapshot) (vc-cancel-version): Handle of vc-BACKEND-checkout updated. (vc-next-action-on-file): Rewritten for the new state model. (vc-backend-merge-news): Renamed to `vc-merge-news'. (Specific parts still need to be split, and implemented for RCS). (vc-admin): Updated to handle selection of appropriate backend. Current implementation is crufty and need re-thinking. (vc-annotate-get-backend, vc-annotate-display-default) (vc-annotate-add-menu, vc-annotate, vc-annotate-display): Annotate functionality updated quite a lot to support multiple backends.

Comments added about their possible removal. (vc-latest-on-branch-p): Function removed and replaced in the vc-backend.el files. (vc-backend-diff): Function removed and placed in the backend files. (vc-backend-checkout): Function removed and replaced in the vc-backend.el files. (vc-backend-admin): Removed and replaced in the vc-backend.el files. (Martin): Removed all the annotate functionality since it is CVS backend specific. [Merged from mainline.] (vc-dired-mode): Make the dired-move-to-filename-regexp regexp match the date, to avoid treating date as file size. Add YYYY S option to WESTERN/ Require `compile' when compiling. (vc-logentry-check-hook): New option. (vc-steal-lock): Use compose-mail. (vc-dired-mode-map): Defvar when compiling. (vc-add-triple, vc-record-rename, vc-lookup-triple): Moved to vc-sccs.el and renamed. Callers changed. (vc-backend-checkout, vc-backend-logentry-check) (vc-backend-merge-news): Doc fix.

(vc-backend-release): Dispatch to backend functions. (vc-backend-release-p): Don't mention CVS, RCS. [The SCCS case probably needs attention.] (vc-dired-mode, vc-dired-reformat-line, vc-dired-purge): Doc fix. (vc-fetch-cvs-status): Moved to vc-cvs.el and renamed. (vc-default-dired-state-info): New function. (vc-dired-state-info): Dispatch to backends. (vc-dired-hook): Doc fix. Simplify, pending removal of CVS specifics. (vc-file-clear-masterprops, vc-latest-on-branch-p) (vc-version-other-window, vc-backend-assign-name): Removed references to vc-latest-version; sometimes changed into vc-workfile-version. (with-vc-file, vc-next-action-on-file, vc-merge) (vc-backend-checkout): Changed calls to `vc-checkout-model' to `vc-uses-locking'. (vc-fetch-cvs-status): Use renamed vc-cvs-parse-status. Some doc fixes for autoloaded and interactive functions. Fix compilation warnings from ediff stuff. (vc-rcs-release, vc-cvs-release, vc-sccs-release): Custom fix. This is 1.244 from the emacs sources

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information, see:
