However, it looks like one main functionality is omitted from this, namely the ability to commit files directly (i.e. the old v-v action in VC-under-dired; not that big a deal for a CVS backend, but with changeset-based systems like svn/git that would seem to be a serious lack, not to mention that it directly contradicts the information in NEWS). As an aside, is there a way to cleanly abort a long-running background status update? I briefly checked the behaviour of vc-status on a tree with svn backend; it also seemed to lack the ability to commit changed files. On top of that, the retrieving of the status info uses a background process; in the case of the tree I was using (a gcc checkout), that process is quite slow, and there did not seem to be an obvious way to cancel it. C-g did nothing (since it's a background process), and when it finished after I had killed the vc-status buffer I received a 'selecting deleted buffer' error.
