Actually, I think it needs to get renamed back. There are vc-* subsystems maintained outside of Emacs, and those will stop working when their hook functions get called under a different name. As an example, there is vc-git.el. It is also distributed in git's contrib directory for the sake of users of older Emacsen and XEmacs, and keeping it compatible would become more of a nuisance. Basically, it would necessitate putting an alias into vc-git.el as well as upstream vc. Unless there is a really pressing reason to keep the renamed function, I think we should really revert here. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
