(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.

README for Edition 2.5 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
