If there are other reasons, > what are they? The "cvs -f status" problem is an initial obstacle. I don't have the slightest idea what other problems I might encounter when using that port. Currently, I'm mostly harassed by the problems that (1) reverting a buffer under VC may change its line endings from Unix to DOS, and (2) `vc-diff' gets me a Diff buffer with ^M appended on each line. My knowledge of vc issues is far too limited to get me a usable, working environment here. Adding the problem that I can't convince people to include a simple option in vc-cvs.el, I meanwhile deeply regret having considered `vc-dired' for managing my commits. In the future, I'll be more prudent when reading text like Hmmm, so all the more reason for people to stop committing stuff separately... :-/ -Miles martin
