We should have all the options anyone wants. I'm talking about the default behavior for C-x v v. > The notion of "commit" from RCS/CVS/SVN Also Bzr. When I was editing Emacs sources using Bzr, C-x v v sent all my changes to the repository on Savannah. Perhaps this is because I made a "bound branch". I used Bzr that way because I wanted the same simple behavior that I had had with CVS. With Bzr, that was possible. Why shouldn't it be possible with Git? doesn't scale well to Git. Could you explain what the obstacle is? I don't see it. I have made a local Git repository cloned from the one at Savannah. Supposedly 'git push' would send the changes back to Savannah. What is the conceptual difficulty in having C-x v v work with Git just as it did with Bzr -- commit and push? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
