(vc-cvs-show-log-entry): New function. (vc-cvs-stay-local): Allow it to be a hostname regexp as well. (vc-cvs-remote-p): Renamed to vc-cvs-stay-local-p. Handle hostname regexps. Updated all callers. (vc-cvs-responsible-p): Handle directories as well. (vc-cvs-could-register): New function. (vc-cvs-retrieve-snapshot): Parse "cvs update" output, keep file properties up-to-date. (vc-cvs-checkout): Do the right thing when the workfile does not exist. (vc-cvs-registered): Use new function vc-cvs-parse-entry to do the actual work. (vc-cvs-remote-p): Allow FILE to be a directory, too. (vc-cvs-dir-state): New function. (vc-cvs-dir-state-heuristic): New function, subroutine of the above. (vc-cvs-parse-entry): New function, also to be used in vc-cvs-registered. (vc-cvs-checkout): Slight restructuring to make the control-flow more clear and to avoid running `cvs' twice. (vc-cvs-workfile-version): Removed comment that this is not reached. It is. (vc-cvs-merge): Set state to 'edited after merge. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Set workfile version to nil if not known. (vc-cvs-latest-on-branch-p): Recommented. Candidate for removal. (vc-cvs-checkin): Raise the max-correct status from 0 to 1. Make sure to switch to *vc* before looking for an error message. Use vc-parse-buffer. (vc-cvs-create-snapshot): Swap DIR and NAME. (vc-cvs-retrieve-snapshot): New function (untested). (vc-cvs-stay-local): Default to t. (vc-cvs-remote-p): New function and property. (vc-cvs-state): Stay local only if the above is t. (vc-handle-cvs): Removed. (vc-cvs-registered): Don't check vc-handle-cvs -- it should all be done via vc-handled-backends now. (vc-cvs-header): Escape Id. (vc-cvs-state, vc-cvs-fetch-status): Use with-temp-file. Use the new BUFFER=t argument to vc-do-command. (vc-cvs-print-log, vc-cvs-diff): Insert in the current buffer. (vc-cvs-state): Use vc-do-command instead of vc-simple-command. (vc-cvs-diff): Remove unused and unsupported argument CMP. (vc-cvs-registered): Obey vc-handle-cvs. (vc-cvs-registered): Use with-temp-buffer. Reorder extraction of fields and call to file-attributes because of a temporary bug in rcp.el. (vc-cvs-fetch-status): Use with-current-buffer. Merge in code from vc-cvs-hooks.el. (proto vc-cvs-registered): Require 'vc-cvs instead of 'vc-cvs-hooks. Don't require 'vc anymore. (vc-cvs-responsible-p): Use expand-file-name instead of concat and file-directory-p instead of file-exists-p. (vc-cvs-create-snapshot): New function, replacing vc-cvs-assign-name. (vc-cvs-assign-name): Remove. (vc-cvs-header): New var. Update Copyright. (vc-cvs-diff): Remove unused `backend' variable. (vc-cvs-checkout): Only toggle read-only if the buffer is setup right. (tail): Provide vc-cvs. (vc-cvs-merge-news, vc-cvs-checkout): Removed call to vc-file-clear-masterprops. (vc-cvs-state): Typo. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Return the status code rather than the error msg. (vc-cvs-state): Don't overwrite a non-heuristic state with a heuristic one. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Just use 'edited for the case with conflicts. (vc-cvs-checkin): Do a trivial parse to set the state in case of error. That allows us to get to 'needs-merge even in the stay-local case. There's still no way to detect 'needs-patch in such a setup (or to force an update for that matter). (vc-cvs-logentry-check): Remove, the default works as well. (vc-cvs-print-log, vc-cvs-diff): Run cvs asynchronously. (vc-cvs-stay-local): Renamed from vc-cvs-simple-toggle. Redocumented. (vc-cvs-state): If locality is wanted, use vc-cvs-state-heuristic. (vc-cvs-toggle-read-only): Removed. (for compiler warnings). (vc-cvs-release, vc-cvs-system-release): Remove. (vc-cvs-use-edit, vc-cvs-simple-toggle): New config variables. (vc-cvs-dired-state-info): Use `cvs-state' and slightly different status symbols. (vc-cvs-parse-status, vc-cvs-state): Move from vc-cvs-hooks.el. (vc-cvs-toggle-read-only): First cut at a function to allow a cvs-status-free vc-toggle-read-only. (vc-cvs-merge-news): Move from cvs-merge-news in vc.el. (vc-cvs-checkin): Use vc-recompute-state+vc-state instead of vc-cvs-status. Also set vc-state rather than vc-locking-user. (vc-cvs-checkout): Modify access rights directly if the user requested not to use `cvs edit'. And refresh the mode line. (if workfile' that got lost when the code was extracted from vc.el. And merged the tail with the rest of the code (not possible in the old vc.el where the tail was shared among all backends). And explicitly set the state to 'edited if `writable' is set. (vc-cvs-revert,vc-cvs-checkout): References to `vc-checkout-model' updated to `vc-cvs-update-model'. (vc-cvs-logentry-check): Function added. (vc-cvs-revert,vc-cvs-checkout): Function calls to `vc-checkout-required' updated to `vc-cvs-uses-locking'. (vc-cvs-admin): Added the query-only option as required by the vc.el file. (vc-cvs-annotate-difference): Updated to handle beginning of annotate buffers correctly. Rename `vc-uses-locking' to `vc-checkout-required'. Rename the `locked' state to `reserved'. (vc-cvs-annotate-difference): Handle possible millenium problem (merged from mainline). Split the annotate feature into a BACKEND-specific part and moved the non-BACKEND stuff to vc.el. (vc-cvs-latest-on-branch-p): Function added. (vc-cvs-revert): Merged and adapted "unedit" patch from main line. (vc-cvs-diff): Function added. (vc-cvs-checkout): Function `vc-cvs-checkout' added. Require vc when compiling. (vc-cvs-register-switches): Doc fix. (vc-annotate-color-map, vc-annotate-menu-elements): Fix custom type. (vc-cvs-print-log, vc-cvs-assign-name, vc-cvs-merge) (vc-cvs-check-headers, vc-cvs-steal, vc-cvs-revert, vc-cvs-checkin): New functions (code from vc.el). (vc-annotate-display-default): Fix interactive spec. (vc-annotate-time-span): Doc fix. Moved the annotate functionality from vc.el. (vc-cvs-admin, vc-cvs-fetch-status): Added from vc.el. (vc-cvs-system-release): Renamed from vc-cvs-backend-release. (vc-cvs-release): Moved from vc.el. (vc-cvs-backend-release): New function. (vc-cvs-dired-state-info, vc-cvs-fetch-status): Moved from vc.el and renamed.
