The above changes will require changing some of the backend operations, since those operations will need to somehow return a list of files changed. The vc-status UI also needs more work: - there should be a way to operate on (sub)directories. - it should be possible to add an entry in the display (like PCL-CVS's `I') so as to then operate on it. - indicate files with conflicts (probably requires changes in backends as well to provide that info). - the modeline says "*VC status* from *vc-status*".
