Minor doc fixes. (vc-default-mode-line-string): Show state `needs-patch' as a `-' too. (vc-after-save): Call vc-dired-resynch-file. (vc-file-not-found-hook): Ask the user whether to check out a non-existing file. (vc-find-backend-function): If function doesn't exist, return nil instead of error. (vc-call-backend): Doc fix. (vc-prefix-map): Move the autoload from vc.el. (vc-simple-command): Removed. (vc-handled-backends): Docstring change. (vc-ignore-vc-files): Mark obsolete. (vc-registered): Check vc-ignore-vc-files. (vc-find-file-hook, vc-file-not-found-hook): Don't check vc-ignore-vc-files. (vc-parse-buffer): Lobotomize the monster. (vc-simple-command): Docstring fix. (vc-registered): Align the way the file-handler is called with the way the function itself works. (vc-file-owner): Remove. (vc-header-alist): Move the dummy def from vc.el. (vc-backend-hook-functions): Remove. (vc-find-backend-function): Don't try to load vc-X-hooks anymore. (vc-backend): Reintroduce the test for `file = nil' now that I know why it was there (and added a comment to better remember). Update Copyright. (vc-backend): Don't accept a nil argument any more. (vc-up-to-date-p): Turn into a defsubst. (vc-possible-master): New function. (vc-check-master-templates): Use `vc-possible-master' and allow funs in vc-X-master-templates to return a non-existent file. (vc-loadup): Remove. (vc-find-backend-function): Use `require'. Also, handle the case where vc-BACKEND-hooks.el doesn't exist. (vc-call-backend): Cleanup. (vc-find-backend-function): Return a cons cell if using the default function. (vc-call-backend): If calling the default function, pass it the backend as first argument. Update the docstring accordingly. (vc-default-state-heuristic, vc-default-mode-line-string): Update for the new backend argument. (vc-make-backend-sym): Renamed from vc-make-backend-function. (vc-find-backend-function): Use the new name. (vc-default-registered): New function. (vc-backend-functions): Remove. (vc-loadup): Don't setup 'vc-functions. (vc-find-backend-function): New function. (vc-call-backend): Use above fun and populate 'vc-functions lazily. (vc-backend-defines): Remove. (vc-backend-hook-functions, vc-backend-functions) (vc-make-backend-function, vc-call): Pass names without leading `vc-' to vc-call-backend so we can blindly prefix them with vc-BACKEND. (vc-loadup): Don't load vc-X-hooks if vc-X is requested. (vc-call-backend): Always try to load vc-X-hooks. (vc-registered): Remove vc- in call to vc-call-backend.

(vc-locking-user): If locked by the calling user, return that name. Redocumented. (vc-user-login-name): Simplify the code a tiny bit. (vc-state): Don't use 'reserved any more. Just use the same convention as the one used for vc-<backend>-state where the locking user (as a string) is returned. (vc-locking-user): Update, based on the above convention. The 'vc-locking-user property has disappeared. (vc-mode-line, vc-default-mode-line-string): Adapt to new `vc-state'. (vc-backend-functions): Removed vc-toggle-read-only. (vc-toggle-read-only): Undid prev change. (vc-master-templates): Def the obsolete var. (vc-file-prop-obarray): Use `make-vector'. (vc-backend-functions): Add new hookable functions vc-toggle-read-only, vc-record-rename and vc-merge-news. (vc-loadup): If neither backend nor default functions exist, use the backend function rather than nil. (vc-call-backend): If the function if not bound yet, try to load the non-hook file to see if it provides it. (vc-call): New macro plus use it wherever possible. (vc-backend-subdirectory-name): Use neither `vc-default-back-end' nor `vc-find-binary' since it's only called from vc-mistrust-permission which is only used once the backend is known. (vc-checkout-model): Fix parenthesis. (vc-recompute-state, vc-prefix-map): Move to vc.el. (vc-backend-functions): Renamed `vc-steal' to `vc-steal-lock'. (vc-call-backend): Changed error message. (vc-state): Added description of state `unlocked-changes'. (vc-backend-hook-functions, vc-backend-functions): Updated function lists. (vc-call-backend): Fixed typo. (vc-backend-hook-functions): Renamed vc-uses-locking to vc-checkout-model. (vc-checkout-required): Renamed to vc-checkout-model. Re-implemented and re-commented. (vc-after-save): Use vc-checkout-model. (vc-backend-functions): Added `vc-diff' to the list of functions possibly implemented in a vc-BACKEND library. (vc-checkout-required): Bug fixed that caused an error to be signaled during `vc-after-save'. (vc-backend-hook-functions): `vc-checkout-required' updated to `vc-uses-locking'. (vc-checkout-required): Call to backend function `vc-checkout-required' updated to `vc-uses-locking' instead. (vc-parse-buffer): Bug found and fixed. (vc-backend-functions): `vc-annotate-command', `vc-annotate-difference' added to supported backend functions. vc-state-heuristic added to vc-backend-hook-functions. Implemented new state model. (vc-state, vc-state-heuristic, vc-default-state-heuristic): New functions. (vc-locking-user): Simplified. Now only needed if the file is locked by somebody else. (vc-lock-from-permissions): Removed. Functionality is in vc-sccs-hooks.el and vc-rcs-hooks.el now. (vc-mode-line-string): New name for former vc-status. Adapted. (vc-mode-line): Adapted to use the above. Removed optional parameter. (vc-master-templates): Is really obsolete. Commented out the definition for now. What is the right procedure to get rid of it? (vc-registered, vc-backend, vc-buffer-backend, vc-name): Largely rewritten. (vc-default-registered): Removed. (vc-check-master-templates): New function; does mostly what the above did before. (vc-locking-user): Don't rely on the backend to set the property. (vc-latest-version, vc-your-latest-version): Removed. (vc-backend-hook-functions): Removed them from this list, too. (vc-fetch-properties): Removed. (vc-workfile-version): Doc fix. (vc-consult-rcs-headers): Moved into vc-rcs-hooks.el, under the name vc-rcs-consult-headers. (vc-master-locks, vc-master-locking-user): Moved into both vc-rcs-hooks.el and vc-sccs-hooks.el. These properties and access functions are implementation details of those two backends. (vc-parse-locks, vc-fetch-master-properties): Split into back-end specific parts and removed. Callers not updated yet; because I guess these callers will disappear into back-end specific files anyway. (vc-checkout-model): Renamed to vc-uses-locking. Store yes/no in the property, and return t/nil. Updated all callers. (vc-checkout-model): Punt to backends. (vc-default-locking-user): New function. (vc-locking-user, vc-workfile-version): Punt to backends. (vc-rcsdiff-knows-brief, vc-rcs-lock-from-diff) (vc-master-workfile-version): Moved from vc-hooks. (vc-lock-file): Moved to vc-sccs-hooks and renamed. (vc-handle-cvs, vc-cvs-parse-status, vc-cvs-status): Moved to vc-cvs-hooks. Add doc strings in various places. Simplify the minor mode setup. (vc-handled-backends): New user variable. (vc-parse-buffer, vc-insert-file, vc-default-registered): Minor simplification. (vc-backend-hook-functions, vc-backend-functions): New variable. (vc-make-backend-function, vc-loadup, vc-call-backend) (vc-backend-defines): New functions. Various doc fixes. (vc-default-back-end, vc-follow-symlinks): Custom fix. (vc-match-substring): Function removed. Callers changed to use match-string. (vc-lock-file, vc-consult-rcs-headers, vc-kill-buffer-hook): Simplify. vc-registered has been renamed vc-default-registered. Some functions have been moved to the backend specific files. they all support the vc-BACKEND-registered functions. This is 1.113 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:
