Shouldn't it be 'an URL'?) Since acronyms are pronounced letter by letter, the adjective matches the spelling of the *sound* of the leading letter, in this case, "U" is pronounced "YOU" which takes the "a". As another example, an acronym that starts with M takes an "an" as the M is pronounced "EM". Kompliziert vielleicht, aber nicht so als Deutsche Adjektiven ;-). > So there is no substitute for pcvs.el and psvn.el now – why is the > family of vc-*.el files then autoloaded? As Stefan said, psvn and pcvs are orthogonal (meaning, they serve a different purpose) to vc. Think of psvn and pcvs former like dired and vc like the file operations (such as `C-x C-f' and `C-s').
