GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-08-15 on barber, modified by Debian
I previously used Emacs 21.4 and its version of the vcdiff script is compatible with bk as it just calls "get" and bitkeeper supplies a get command. In 23.2.1 the command is "sccs get" but there is no sccs with bitkeeper.
Although I do not make much use of "M-x vc-diff" and could just use something different instead it does cause some problems as I have my "EDITOR" set to emacs in the environment and therefore when I fix merge conflicts in bitkeeper the file is passed to emacs. The call to emacs always fails like so:
/usr/lib/emacs/23.2/x86_64-linux-gnu/vcdiff: 113: sccs: not found
I have found that reverting to the old behaviour with the patch that I have included below solves the problem. Perhaps the change might be reverted or parameterised in future releases?
Regards,
Paul Bristow.

But using just `get' won't work with CSSC, for example.

We could first try `sccs get' and if that fails fallback on `get'.
Can you confirm that the patch below works for you?

Thanks for the quick response. I have tried that patch and can confirm that it works for me.

I don't think this was ever installed; would you like to install it and
close this report?

Actually, I don't really like the fix I suggested, and I have the
impression that it only covers a small part of the underlying problem.

I have absolutely no context for this question, and stumbled on it
almost by accident. But having said that, did you know newer versions
of bitkeeper ship with an emacs mode in `bk bin`/contrib/vc-bk.el ?

The original change was made because GNU CSSC does not install "get" etc
in the PATH [1]. I just want to mention that running CSSC's `sccs
--version' returns the libexec directory where "get" etc are installed,
so they could easily be located and run from there.

If I understand correctly, this issue is now outdated, and I'm closing
this bug report. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
