Hi,

Cloning is used quite often, so I would like to have an interactive
command. A patch is attached to the email. WDYT?

Thanks, but making this function a command will take more than just
adding the interactive form.  I think we need at least:

  . mention that in interactive usage the command prompts for the
    argument (why do we have to prompt for REV, btw?)
  . announce the change in NEWS
  . maybe update the user manual
  . maybe make the command fall back to 'checkout' method if 'clone'
    is not supported

> +        directory))))

This changes the value returned by the function from what it did
before, no?

I clarified in the docstring. We can agree that we shouldn't prompt for REV
when cloning interactively, removed.

it's worth thinking about, because I can't say for sure right now if
it's worth it. And how to do this when vc-checkout requires a file as an
argument.

If the function is called from the code, it returns nil or the
directory, just like in the previous version. Or am I missing
something?

V2 patch:

Try to avoid passive voice, as in "be used" and "be cloned".

We could consider moving `package-vc-heuristic-alist' to vc so as to
provide some useful default when cloning.

> +         (expand-file-name

Here also, I think it would make sense to re-use the same interface as
`package-vc-checkout' provides, by prompting for a not-yet existing
directory.

I think binding this in a `let*' expression would look nicer.

Perhaps we can add a FIND-FILE argument to the end, so that it is also
possible to open the directory from a script as well.

I'd always return `directory', that seems simpler.

package-vc-heuristic-alist, package-vc--guess-backend):
Rename and move to ...
(package-vc-default-backend): Set type to vc-backend-type.
(package-vc--clone, package-vc--read-package-name, package-vc-install,
package-vc-checkout): Use vc-guess-backend.
* lisp/vc/vc (vc-backend-type, vc-heuristic-alist, vc-guess-backend):
... here.

What I meant was to write

  (defun vc-clone (... &optional ... open-dir)
    (interactive (list ... t))
    ...
    (when open-dir
      (dired directory))
    directory)  

instead of

  (defun vc-clone (... &optional ... open-dir)
    (interactive (list ... t))
    ...
    (if open-dir
        (dired directory)
      directory))

The advantage is that you can still request the directory to be opened
when invoked non-interactively, you avoid the ambiguity of
`called-interactively-p' and the return value is always of the same
type, and not sometimes whatever `find-file'/`dired' returns.

I think it would cleaner if we split this up into two commits:

1. Moving `package-vc-heuristic-alist',
2. Making `vc-clone' interactive.

When calling interactively, we can choose a path to a directory that
does not exist, then if the clone operation fails, a path that is not a
directory will be returned. If the cloning operation succeeds, it will
be true. This also applies if the directory already exists.

+*** 'vc-clone' is now an interactive command.
+When called interactively, 'vc-clone' now prompts for the remote
+repository address, the backend for cloning, if it has not been
+determined automatically according to the URL, and the directory to
+clone the repository into.
+
+*** 'vc-clone' now accepts an optional argument OPEN-DIR.
+When the argument is non-nil, the function switches to a buffer visiting

FWIW as the vc-clone author, I think we can apply it, but Dmitry is the
VC maintainer so he should have the last word.

I'm the new VC maintainer.

Aleksandr, thank you for this.  Some comments on v4:

- The commit message of the first patch doesn't completely follow the
  guidelines in CONTRIBUTE.  I think M-q will fix it.

  - I also find the ... thing hard to read because it's separated by
    other changes.  Would you mind just writing out the changes twice?

- vc-heuristic-alist should probaby have ':version 31.1'

- Inserting vc-guess-backend right at the top doesn't seem right.  There
  is already a section "Code for deducing what fileset and backend to
  assume".

- I think that vc-guess-backend should be called vc-guess-url-backend or
  similar.  'vc-guess-backend' is too generic.

- I'm not really convinced by the OPEN-DIR argument.  You specifically
  say that it's for scripting purposes, but then, the script can just
  call find-file :)  Is there some reason why it's better as an
  argument?

Moved to suggested section

Renamed to vc-guess-url-backend

I don't have a strong opinion on this. I originally proposed this:

(when (file-directory-p directory)
  (if (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
      (find-file directory)
    directory))

The OPEN-DIR argument was suggested by Philip, and I agreed with him,
since the option is also good.  I'm fine with both options, I'll do as
you say.

Sorry, I misread the code, ignore my comment here.

Installed, thanks.

I renamed vc-backend-type and vc-heuristic-alist to less generic names.

I also realised that vc-clone now can call vc-guess-url-backend even
when noninteractive, and it always returns DIRECTORY which it didn't
before, so I updated the commit message accordingly.

This is important, as package-vc calls vc-clone non-interactively.
