Subversion and emacs 21.3 and 21.4

The Subversion people have stopped maintaining vc-svn a long time ago,
and handed it off to the emacs maintainers.

But, still by default in 21.4, the only supported version control
systems are RCS, SCCS and CVS.  Where is Subversion?  The vc interface
has changed a bit between versions as well, so the old code doesn't work
very well.

Where can I find a version of vc-svn that works with emacs 21.4?  How
about emacs 21.3?  Since you were handed the code in late 2003, why
didn't it make it into emacs 21.4?

Thanks,

Eric,

In addition to vc-svn, you'd be interested in psvn which provides a
similar mode to pcvs. Available, natch, via Subversion:

  http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/psvn

There has been no feature release of Emacs in that timeframe. 21.4 was
a bugfix release, to fix a security hole in movemail only.

Eric,

I got tired of waiting for a release of Emacs that incorporates (working)
SVN support so I downloaded the CVS tip of Emacs and built it myself - the
tip has good support for svn.

You can access archives of the GNU stuff (assuming you are behind a firewall
like I am and can't access the CVS repository directly via cvs) from
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs-backup/

If you are using a win32 platform to run Emacs then look here for good
instructions on how to build from source
http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/w32-build-emacs.html

Hope this helps,

Peter
