bug#31460: 25.2; vc-dired in SVN hides up-to-date files

[Francesco Potortì]

vc-dired on an svn-controlled directory which is completely updated only
shows unregistered files.  Files that are up-to-date are hidden and
apparently there is no command to unhide them (they should be shown by
default, in fact).

Or changed, deleted, etc.

We don't show the up-to-date files, unless they have been recently edited.

In any decent-sized project, they will be too many of them to reasonably 
display.

Yes, sure, sorry.

Well, yes, by updated I mean that all changes have been committed.

Even if they have been recently edited, as far as I can see they are not
shown any more once the changes have been committed.

Okay, but this is an argument in favor of the current default.  The
problem is that I don't find a command to unhide the up-to-date files,
which in my case is what I usually need, and no way to change the
default.

I think there should be a customisable variable indicating what's hidden
by default, and a command to unhide all files (for example X, or C-ux).

Committed when? And how?

That might be a peculiarity of the SVN backend. Hopefully someone will 
investigate.

When I commit changes in a Git repo (inside Emacs), the recently-edited 
files stay in the buffer.

Ehh, keeping a history of the file hiding? That could work, but not if 
the problem is in a different place (see above).

I edit a file under svn.  I save and I commit it with vc-next-action.
Then I look at the directory with vc-dir.

I remember that it did not use to work like this.  I remember that
vc-dir was useful to me, and it is much less useful now.

I'm not asking for any history.

1) Show all the files that are in a dir by default, just as 'svn ls'
   does, no files hidden by default

2) Provide a command to unhide, that is, to undo all hiding done by
   vc-dir-hide-state

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

This is how vc-dir is supposed to work -- it only shows files that
aren't up-to-date (i.e., changed, unregistered, etc).  So this is
working as designed, and I'm therefore closing this bug report.  (If I
misunderstood what you meant here, please respond to the debbugs address
and we'll reopen.)

I think you understood.  Only, at the time it seemd unreasonable to me
that vc-dir does not show all vc-controlled files.  In time, I got used
to it but I still think that being able to see all files is a must, and
it shluld be possible to use such a view by default.

Thanks for your maintainance work
