(vc-rcs-show-log-entry): New function. (vc-rcs-checkin, vc-rcs-checkout): Don't set all properties. (vc-rcs-register): If there is no RCS subdir, ask the user whether to create one. (vc-rcs-state-heuristic): Use file-ownership-preserved-p. (vc-rcs-checkout): Remove the error-handling for missing-rcs. (vc-rcs-state-heuristic): Don't use file-writable-p. (vc-rcs-print-log): Insert in the current buffer. (vc-rcs-diff): Insert in the current buffer and remove unused arg CMP. (vc-rcs-workfile-unchanged-p): Use vc-do-command instead of vc-simple-command. (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state): Removed check for unlocked-changes to avoid doing a diff when opening a file. (vc-rcs-state): Added check for unlocked-changes. (vc-rcs-header): Escape Id. (vc-rcs-workfile-unchanged-p): Remove optional arg VERSION. (vc-rcs-state): Call vc-workfile-unchanged-p, not the RCS-specific version. (vc-rcs-state-heuristic): Use file-writable-p instead of comparing userids. (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state): Handle the case where rcs is missing. Simplify the logic by eliminating unreachable code. (vc-rcs-diff): Only pass `2' to vc-do-command if necessary and just do a recursive call if we need to retry. (vc-rcs-checkout): Handle the case where rcs is missing by making the buffer read-write if requested and re-signalling the error. (vc-rcs-find-most-recent-rev): New function. The code derives from the old vc-parse-buffer but uses the revision number rather than the date (much easier to compare robustly). (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state): Use `with-temp-buffer'. Adapt to the new vc-parse-buffer (and vc-rcs-find-most-recent-rev). Find the locking-user more directly. Check strict locking and set checkout-model appropriately. (vc-rcs-parse-locks): Remove. (vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p): Use with-temp-buffer and adapt to the new vc-parse-buffer (and vc-rcs-find-most-recent-rev). (vc-rcs-system-release): Use with-current-buffer and vc-parse-buffer. (vc-rcs-register, vc-rcs-checkout): Use with-current-buffer. Merge in code from vc-rcs-hooks.el. Don't require 'vc anymore. (vc-rcs-responsible-p): Use expand-file-name instead of concat and file-directory-p instead of file-exists-p. (vc-rcs-exists): Remove. (vc-rcs-header): New var. Update Copyright. (vc-rcs-rename-file): New function. (vc-rcs-diff): Remove unused `backend' variable. (vc-rcs-clear-headers): New function; code moved here from vc-clear-headers in vc.el. (tail): Provide vc-rcs and remove vc-rcs-logentry-check. (vc-rcs-register): Parse command output to find master file name and workfile version. (vc-rcs-checkout): Removed call to vc-file-clear-masterprops. Require vc and vc-rcs-hooks. (vc-rcs-trunk-p, vc-rcs-branch-part): Move to vc-rcs-hooks. (vc-rcs-backend-release-p): Remove (use vc-rcs-release-p). (vc-release-greater-or-equal-p): Move from vc. (vc-rcs-trunk-p, vc-rcs-branch-p, vc-rcs-branch-part, vc-rcs-minor-part, vc-rcs-previous-version): Remove duplicates. (vc-rcs-checkout): Add a missing `new-version' argument in the call to vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p. Hopefully that was the right one. (vc-rcs-steal-lock): Renamed from `vc-rcs-steal'. Updated everything to use `vc-checkout-model'. (vc-rcs-backend-release-p): function added. other stuff updated to reference this function instead of the old `vc-backend-release-p'. (vc-rcs-logentry-check): Function added. (vc-rcs-checkin, vc-rcs-previous-version) (vc-rcs-checkout): Name space cleaned up. No more revision number crunching function names that are not prefixed with vc-rcs. (vc-rcs-checkout-model): Function added. References to `vc-checkout-model' replaced. (vc-rcs-admin): Added the query-only option as required by the vc.el file. (vc-rcs-exists): Function added. (vc-*-checkout): Use with-temp-file instead of /bin/sh. Merged from mainline (vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p): Moved to vc-rcs-hooks.el. (vc-rcs-latest-on-branch-p, vc-rcs-trunk-p) (vc-rcs-branch-p, vc-rcs-branch-part, vc-rcs-minor-part) (vc-rcs-previous-version): Functions added. (vc-rcs-diff): Function added. (vc-rcs-checkout) Bug (typo) found and fixed. (vc-rcs-register-switches) Variable `vc-rcs-register-switches' added. Require vc when compiling. (vc-rcs-print-log, vc-rcs-assign-name, vc-rcs-merge) (vc-rcs-check-headers, vc-rcs-steal, vc-rcs-uncheck, vc-rcs-revert) (vc-rcs-checkin): New functions (code from vc.el). (vc-rcs-previous-version, vc-rcs-system-release, vc-rcs-checkout): Doc fix. (vc-rcs-release): Deleted. (Duplicated vc-rcs-system-release). (vc-rcs-trunk-p, vc-rcs-branch-p, vc-rcs-branch-part) (vc-rcs-minor-part, vc-rcs-previous-version, vc-rcs-release) (vc-rcs-release-p, vc-rcs-admin, vc-rcs-checkout): New functions from vc.el. (vc-rcs-system-release): Renamed from vc-rcs-backend-release.

Subject: M-x search-backward-in-time broken...
X-Windows: you'll envy the dead.

In GNU Emacs 51.70.4 (i9986-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Sat Feb  20 2199 on floss
configured using `configure  --with-x-toolkit=yes'

        The `search-backward-in-time' function appears to be broken in
Emacs 51.70.  

        Unfortunately, I can never seem to start the debugger early
enough to catch the error as it happens.  However I have traced the
problem through source by eye, and it looks like `time-forward' can't
handle negative arguments anymore.  This is consistent with other
symptoms: for example, `undo' (which since 51.25 has worked by passing
a negative arg to `time-forward') is also broken.  However, `do' still
works -- it seems that `time-forward' continues to handle positive
arguments just fine.

        No one here-and-now can figure out how to fix the problem,
because the code for `time-forward' is so hairy.  We're using M-x
report-future-emacs-bug to request that you folks include more
comments when you write it (sometime in 2198 as I recall).

        Thanks!

P.S. You'll be pleased to know that since (time-forward N) still works
     for N >= 0, we've used it to pre-emptively update configure.in.
     Emacs now configures and builds on every platform that will ever
     be made.  It wasn't easy, but at least that's one problem out of
     the way for good.  If you'd like the patch, just ask.
