Hi there,

I'm writing some code on top of VC.  I'd need to get the list of
modified files in the current repository.  How do I do that (other than
firing git as an external process)?

TIA,

I suggest to look at what vc-dir-refresh does, I'm sure some variant
of that is what you want.  The back-end call 'dir-status-files' is the
backbone of this.

Thanks, but I'd really prefer to stay within VC this time (while I do
have Magit, I cannot assume other people do, and I'm writing something
not only for myself).

Still, I'm cc'ing this to the list in case someone might find it useful.

Thanks,

Thanks, but I still have questions.  I learned about
vc-BACKEND-dir-status-files functions, but I don't really understand how
to use one.  And they are not extremely well documented...

This is not a huge problem - I can always just run git directly - but
I wanted to do it "the right way";-).

Best,
