DVC does similar to PCL-CVS for distributed version control systems. I was working on the xtla, the ancestor of DVC. http://dl.gna.org/dvc/ I was interested in merge DVC to GNU Emacs. However, these days, I am busy and I get interests to extend vc-dired, so I've just asked DVC developers to assign another people for working on the merging task. Masatake YAMATO
