My first cut at your feature request didn't go so well; it's tough for two reasons: 1) the *vc* buffer is used both for 'C-x v l' and also when you do 'C-x v v' to commit a file, so it might contain either info that your commit was successful, or the actual log info...would it be OK to change 'C-x v l' to write to something other than the *vc* buffer, say the *vc-commit-history* buffer? 2) cache coherency problem. What if the log info is updated b/c of new commits? Do you always want the outdated log info? Any comments on these issues? Thanks, -- Benjamin
