(vc-update-change-log): Check that ChangeLog is writable before starting the expensive rcs2log process. Use call-process instead of shell-command to invoke rcs2log; this avoids undesired shell escapes and is more robust about errors. Put mark at point-min, so that the new insertion is in the region. (vc-checkin-hook): Fix `runs-hooks' typo. (vc-checkout-writeable-buffer-hook): New var. (vc-next-action): Fix bug: initial checkin was botched when C-x v v was applied to a new file while vc-initial-comment was non-nil. (vc-register): Don't barf when registering a new, empty buffer. (vc-directory): The `No files are currently registered' message was wrongly worded, because sometimes the message talks about locked files, not registered files. (vc-file-tree-walk): Change (apply 'funcall ...) to (apply ...), since the 'funcall is redundant. When traversing a directory tree, message "Traversing directory XXX" so that the user can see what progress is being made. Traversal can take a long time. Omit first argument, since it is always the current directory. All callers changed. (vc-file-tree-walk-internal): New function. (vc-do-command, vc-diff, vc-version-diff, vc-backend-diff): Remove redundant calls to `format'. (vc-diff): Remove unused variable `old'. (vc-version-diff): When recursively generating a difference listing, don't append the latest output unless diff was actually run; otherwise, you'll get the output from the previous file by mistake.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.dat' is for VMS.  It is a copy of the `/etc/termcap' file
used on Unix.
