Re: vc-cc bug fix ...

I'm using XEmacs 21.1.8 and the vc-cc package release 1.13
(downloaded from an XEmacs mirror). Here are some problems I
encountered and the way I have fixed them.
are you planning to send the fixes to someone or install them yourself?
i'm cc'ing the xemacs folks; perhaps they can be of quicker help.
First, in vc.el, the 'vc-read-version' defun seemed broken. After
long investigation ;-), a simple recompile of the file fixed the
stuff. It seems then there is a sync inconsistency between vc.el and
vc.elc in this package.
In vc-hooks.el, the Lucid Emacs menu definition can be improved (and
made consistent). At line 720, the "Diff Between Revisions..."
intends to compare two different revisions. The associated call to
'vc-diff-since-revision' seems then improper and should be replaced
either by 'vc-version-diff' or by 'ediff-revision'. Both these
functions are well comparing 2 chosen versions whereas
'vc-diff-since-revision' only compare the current buffer with 1 old
revision...
generally, the vc-diff subsystem needs to be restructured to mux through
a user-var `vc-diff-function'. you're welcome to send a patch.
Finally, I'd like to congratulate all the people involved in this
mode, it has really impressed all the ClearCase users I know (and me
especially). Nice work.
