 ;;; Todo:
 
+;;;; New Primitives:
+;;
 ;; - deal with push/pull operations.

-;; - "snapshots" should be renamed to "branches", and thoroughly reworked.
+;; - add a mechanism for editing the underlying VCS's list of files
+;;   to be ignored, when that's possible.

+;;;; Improved branch and tag handling:
+;;
+;; - "snapshots" should be renamed to "tags", and thoroughly reworked.
+;;
+;; - add a generic mechanism for remembering the current branch names,
+;;   display the branch name in the mode-line. Replace
+;;   vc-cvs-sticky-tag with that.
+;;
+;; - C-x v b does switch to a different backend, but the mode line is not 
+;;   adapted accordingly.  Also, it considers RCS and CVS to be the same, 
+;;   which is pretty confusing.
+;;
+;; - vc-create-snapshot and vc-retrieve-snapshot should update the
+;;   buffers that might be visiting the affected files.
+;;
+;;;; Default Behavior:
+;;
+;; - do not default to RCS anymore when the current directory is not
+;;   controlled by any VCS and the user does C-x v v
+;;
+;; - vc-responsible-backend should not return RCS if no backend
+;;   declares itself responsible.
+;;
+;;;; Internal cleanups:
+;;
+;; - backends that care about vc-stay-local should try to take it into
+;;   account for vc-dir.  Is this likely to be useful???
+;;
+;; - vc-expand-dirs should take a backend parameter and only look for
+;;   files managed by that backend.
+;;
+;; - Another important thing: merge all the status-like backend operations.
+;;   We should remove dir-status, state, and dir-status-files, and
+;;   replace them with just `status' which takes a fileset and a continuation
+;;   (like dir-status) and returns a buffer in which the process(es) are run
+;;   (or nil if it worked synchronously).  Hopefully we can define the old
