During this time there was, apparently, a lot of VC-related activity including discussion of a new interface that has been partially implemented, and several patches flying back and forth. I have time to work on VC and consider myself responsible for it (especially since the new-VC rewrite). But I am unclear on what needs to be done with VC at this point. Would those of you who have been hacking please summarize the design and coding issues as you see them? From that I will try to put together some sort of roadmap and get a start on executing it. -- >>esr>>
