I think so. I have previously used PCL-CVS for this. I don't know whether vc-directory is now supposed to be a full-blown replacement for PCL-CVS, but actually using PCL-CVS for this purpose already was a crutch: it should not be necessary to acquire a VC directory listing just for the purpose of being able to commit several files in one commit. Maybe C-x v i can be made to do this? Expand its meaning from "register new file" to "register the current file/state for the next commit"? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
