In a previous version of Emacs, I'm not sure how long ago, when I did a
"vc-register" operation, Emacs would automatically open a buffer for the
"Description." This would allow me to enter a description of the file
being registered for RCS, CVS or SVN.
Now I find that "vc-register" just registers the file with no
description. I've looked in the vc*.el files and cannot see where it
even considers opening a buffer for the description.
Is this a feature that has been removed?
Thanks,
Chris

What backend are you using? If you are using a distributed versioning
system (bzr, git, hg, ..), I think this is expected behaviour as
registering just adds the file but doesn't commit. You get the chance
to add your comments when you finally commit.

Hope this helped.

vc-initial-comment is a variable defined in `vc.el'.
Its value is nil
Documentation:
If non-nil, prompt for initial comment when a file is registered.
You can customize this variable.
