So what? Until now this command has failed in all contexts because it didn't exist. :-) And I suspect it will still fail in many cases because it will depend on the extent of VC coverage for any given VCS. Will it work DaRCS (which does have a VC backend, tho not included in Emacs) or Pijul? Stefan
