> Viper requires some functions defined in vc-hooks.el
Can this dependency be removed? It is a rather non-obvious
dependency, much like EFS requiring VM, and it would a be a good
thing if the linkage could be made to go away.
It needs to know whether a file is under version control.
For this, it uses vc-backend. I could never understand why vc-hooks.el is
such a bad thing to depend on.
