Hmm...  That doesn't seem to do much by itself.  In any case, I have
tracked down the info pages which, apparently, are the source of the 
second link that you sent.  They can be found in the GNU Emacs 22.3
distro in files.texi, vc-xtra.texi, vc1-xtra.texi and vc2-xtra.texi in 
the man directory.  And, I suppose they exist somewhere else as well. 
But, can't these be placed in the VC XEmacs package?  I see that they
are GFDL.  Is that the problem?  At least it is not GPL v3 :o)
