Isn't that because vc doesn't know about hg? I poked around a little and found that the variable vc-handled-backends doesn't include hg. Since xemacs uses hg, it's probably a good idea if vc supported hg. -- Ray _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Uwe> Hello Uwe> I just cloned the hg xemacs rep. Uwe> When I open say abbrev.el in the lisp directory Uwe> vc-print-log tells me that the file is *not* under version control! Oops that is what I feared. It is a bit paradoxical that Xemacs uses HG but does not support it. I am now starting to move from RCS to HG[1] Be it as it may GNU emacs vc is now *very* different from the Xemacs one (5 years of development?) They moved out some functionality for RCS and only after I begged some of these functionality was re installed. They support git and hg, although the git support is a bit better as far as I can tell, not surprising given that emacs uses git for its development. Anyhow I don't have any patch to offer.

I'm confused now. vc version 1.48 at least (and earlier ones, too, IIRC) include mercurial.el, which provides the necessary shims. I use mercurial for XEmacs work, and vc picks up on mercurial-managed files just fine. But not always. Usually if I edit a file under mercurial, it a) autoloads mercurial and b) e.g. C-x v l prints the log. Other times it autoloads mercurial, but I have the same problem as you. At the moment it's working, so I can't debug! Perplexed in Edinburgh -- Henry S.
