VC in emacs 21.3

VC in emacs 21.3

[kgold]

In my continuing quest to move from Intel/Linux emacs 20.7 to 21.3

>From a C buffer, these commands
	C-x v =		vc-diff
	C-x v l		vc-print-log
	C-x v g		vc-annotate
	C-x v ~		vc-version-other-window	

In 20.7. they all pop up a password dialog.

In 21.3, the last 2 pop up the dialog.  The first asks for a password
in the *vc-diff* buffer and the second asks for a password in the *vc*
buffer.

1 - I'd like it to always pop the password dialog.  How can I
configure that?

2 - If it's a bug and I can't configure it, I can live with typing the
password in the buffer (echoing in the clear gives me the creeps), but
ENTER doesn't seem to send it anywhere.  What's the keystroke to send
it?

Can you try the patch below (apply it to .../share/emacs/21.3/lisp/vc.el,
then recompile the .elc file or remove it) and tell me if it helps?

This works fine.  Thanks for the quick fix.

I wasn't aware that Intel was distributing the GNU/Linux OS/kernel or
the Emacs editor.

What I meant was the Linux OS on an Intel processor based platform
(aka PC).
