Thanks for that upgrade. I am a bit confused: I thought the actual maintainer of vc is Andre Spiegel , although I know that vc was/is Eric's brainchild. Be it as it may, I have tons of files under RCS, so I am not very keen to try to migrate them to git. I might give it a try and use the old vc package Xemacs still ships, but it might not be possible....
