Re: Why I attempted to port dired/VC from emacs

Rodney> To list all files requires a 2nd call to vc-directory (as you Rodney> noted; I never would have thought of that). Testing this with Emacs "22.3.1" gives quite different results. Results that seems to be more intuitively correct IMHO. In Emacs vc-directory always give you a view of modified files. Switching to dired on the same directory gives you a new buffer in dired mode. So that you can se ordinary dired listing there and the updated files in det vc-directory buffer. I don't get this in XEmacs. Trying dired on the same directory that I have just visited doesn't give the normal dired listing in a new buffer. Using vc-directory again does show all files but moving back to the version view doesn't seem possible without deleting the buffer first. (With your patch going back again works so in that case it seems to do better. The resulting dired listing isn't a normal dired listing though since the buffer i still under "Dired under <versioningsystem> mode". So I don't like it.) Anyway. There seems to be a few more things to fix but it does work better as it is now. Don't you think the Emacs behavior is like it really should be? So that you can have both a versioned dired listing and a normal dired listing for the same directory at the same time but in different buffers?
