I have just added vc-dir-status for Git. Sigh, moments after the C-c C-c, i see new func vc-git--ls-files-state, which probably could have been useful. However, before doing any more munging, it would be nice for us to figure out what is vc-dir-status philosophy and design, and write that down in a vc.el comment so that backend support can derive guidance and check for conformance. Labeling everything EXPERIMENTAL is lame; one such warning in vc.el should suffice. Personally, i don't think vc-directory for Git is that bad (w/ some tweaking)[0]. I *like* the "v" prefix, non-flat (visible) directory hierarchy, and support for RCS and CVS. I get the feeling that vc-dir-status is simply ewoc wanking. Perhaps a nice comment in vc.el would dispell that, hint hint. thi __________________________________________________________ [0] mentioned before, but there have been updates since: http://www.gnuvola.org/wip/ (see vc-git-hacking)
