What happened to vc-mode in Emacs 23?

What happened to vc-mode in Emacs 23?

Hello list

I used to use Emacs for CVS handling. A few days ago I switched from
stable to Emacs 23.0.60.1 (Emacs-Snapshot under Ubuntu 8.10).

Now, when I try to check-in my projects (C-x C-v C-d ~/aktuell/) I get
something looking like this:

,----
| VC backend : CVS
| Working dir: ~/aktuell/
| 
| 
|                          ./
`----

Several CVS projects are located below ~/aktuell. Emacs 22 recognizes
them all and lists all files that need to be checked in. Emacs 23 just
shows this screen and nothing else happens. I guess there is some change
Emacs 23 I haven't noticed. But I cannot find anything in the Wiki nor
in the info files.

I have set the repository in my .emacs like this:

(setenv "CVSROOT" ":ext:sven@server:/home/svenbret/cvs")
(setenv "CVS_RSH" "ssh")

What is wrong?

Thanks for help

I found that it works when I choose a folder containing a concrete CVS
module. But I liked that Emacs automatically did a recursive search for
files to be checked in from the various projects which are all located
below the folder ~/aktuell/. Does anybody know how I can retrieve the
old behavior?

To be clear, the folder ~/aktuell/ contains several CVS sandboxes. I
want Emacs to gather information from all sandboxes below that folder at
once and to list all the files that have changed.

Thanks for help

Hi,

"C-x v d" doesn't do that for me either with SVN, but look at the
different definitions of your keys. These are mine:

  "GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
   of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON"

      C-x v d runs the command vc-directory
        which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `vc'.

  "GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
   of 2008-11-08 on LENNART-69DE564"

      C-x v d runs the command vc-dir, which is an interactive autoloaded
      Lisp function in `vc-dir.el'.

Cheers

Martin

Yes, I've noticed that too some hours ago. vc-directory seems no longer
to be part of Emacs 23. In the meantime I noticed that there is a new
frontend for CVS called pcl-cvs supplying the command cvs-examine which
does exactly what I want. Now, I switch to this package. New keys to
learn but quite powerful as far as I can say.

Thanks

Sven
