And as long as noone writes such a patch this discussion > is just hot air. How many people even use vc-next-action these days? IOW, would it be okay to make it work very differently for modern dVCSes than what it does now? For example, in a Git repository where "git status" shows nothing, vc-next-action invoked without an argument currently says "Fileset is up-to-date" and does nothing, which is IMO less than useful. Would someone mind if it suggested a "git pull" instead? Also, there's no handling of pull problems, and the handling of conflicts is rudimentary at best. And, of course, there's no sup[port at all for pushing; there's no notion of local commits that are missing upstream. Would someone mind if vc-next-action were changed in these regards?
