Subject: In defense of VC [was: In support of Jonas Bernoulli's Magit]

I agree.  VC stays out of the way, while Magit is a whole new interface,
and a modal one at that.  That's fine if you're doing complicated stuff
with your repository, but if you're actually programming and wish to
commit your work or check a diff, VC is much more streamlined.

Yes, that's annoying.  You need to mark all the modified files in the
vc-dir buffer.  And I agree that VC should at least warn that there are
other modified files.  (I think this deserves a bug report.)

It's quite useful for everyday tasks -- committing, diffing and browsing
the logs.  For more exotic tasks (partial commits, browsing remotes
repositories, merging), I use Magit or the command line.
