(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved at the time.) It seems like you fixed the doc string a couple days after this. As for the explanatory text in the vc -- I haven't seen much request for that: The mode line says [waiting] in bold, which seems sufficient, and is how we do asynchronous stuff like this in several other modes. So I'm closing this bug report. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
