I'll probably only ever offer simple bugfixes for VC. If you are adding features then it's your prerogative to prioritise them. It's a different matter if features are being removed and, in that respect, I think it's important that vc-dired isn't disabled/dismantled. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
