With all due respect, you underestimate the amount of expertise involved. Perhaps there is a natural tendency to think, about the things that you are an expert on, that it isn't much expertise. People like me, who barely know how to use Git but have to use it a little, must be very numerous. It would be wrong to make "C-x v v" disrupt those > workflows. I am not proposing to disrupt anything, just to change the default, and only when using VC. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
