Hello
Recently some Dmitry Gutov added some nice features to vc-hg.el
One way to use them is to downland and compile emacs git. But someone on
the mercurial mailing list asked me whether the new vc pkg or the
vc-hg.el is emacs 24 compatible.
This could be problematic
- vc-hg.el or all the vc files might include new lisp commands from
other lisp files.
- they might contain even new command from C source code.
The question is:
- could changes in lisp packages be marked whether they are
backward compatible say to GNU emacs 24?
- does it make sense to include them into ELPA?
Regards
Uwe Brauer

Probably not. But I suppose they can take the (two or three) patches,
and apply them to their local Emacs installations.
