Ville> 1) The new vc hasn't been around for too long yet, so I'm pretty Ville> sure we'll find more things as it gets more exposure. I still can't cleanly "just use it". I go through this series of steps after XEmacs starts: * Try ediff-revision (the most common thing I do) * Get an error about this 'state' variable being undefined * (setq debug-on-error t) * Try again * find-function whatever-it-is * C-x C-e Then I'm off to the races. I've cvs up'd and reinstalled the packages a couple times but I still get this error.

But he's announced that he's busy, so it may take a bit. Ville, are you going to take a shot at this, or do you want somebody else to look at it? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

It would have been nice to have someone look at vc-hg.el from GNU before release, perhaps to be used as a mercurial.el replacement, but nobody has said anything definite about looking into it so I guess it doesn't make sense to wait for it. Using the new vc, I get this error: 'Error in process sentinel: (error Marker does not point anywhere)' This happens when doing vc-diff(etc) operations on a remote cvs repository.
