Is that true? The Emacs manual says (about vc-directory): Here is an example using CVS: /home/joe/develop: -rw-r--r-- (modified) Aug 2 1997 file1.c -rw-r--r-- Apr 4 20:09 file2.c -rw-r--r-- (merge) Sep 13 1996 file3.c Here `file1.c' is modified with respect to the repository, and `file2.c' is not. `file3.c' is modified, but other changes have also been checked in to the repository--you need to merge them with the work file before you can check it in. I have never seen (merge) with vc-directory, but how can it know a merge is needed without contacting the repository? Nick P.S I think some of the slowness may have something to do with savannah as my usual method (command line) of updating is also taking longer.
