Which revision control system are you using and what kind of completion do you expect (on N.M revision numbers as used in RCS, SCC, and CVS, completion doesn't seem very useful. Also with a remote CVS repository, the need to contact the repository may make completion too slow to be useful. If you're using CVS, you can try PCL-CVS where you can do: C-u b RET o to visit a file, just like C-x v ~ would in VC. Stefan
