All work fine with Emacs 23.0.91.1 under Ubuntu here. vc-git is fine for operations on a single file and mostly gets out of you way. git.el is more useful when you're in "version control mode", for operations on a the file tree. gitsum allows you to select what chunks to group into a commit. There's no reason why you can't use several packages in parallel and use each one what what it does best. See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Git for an overview. For troubleshooting your problem: what emacs version are you using? Did you upgrade recently? Any stale byte compiled git.elc lying around? What happens if you start emacs without customizations (emacs -Q) and load git.el with M-x load-file? > Im looking at dvc but its really obese and does not even have an entry > on how to configure to use the git backend!! > > ------------------------ > Well... > I typed this and then tried google and got Richard's pages on git > +emacs.

This link http://xtalk.msk.su/~ott/en/writings/emacs-vcs/EmacsGit.html#sec18 mentions that egg contains windows-specific fixes. You should try it. 8-) Regards, Anselm -- Anselm Helbig mailto:anselm.helbig+news2009@googlemail.com
