I have been using vc and ediff-revision from within XEmacs, but its Mercurial support seemed lacking, so I thought I would try making the switch to GNU Emacs. While it appears that the version of GNU Emacs (23.1) I downloaded from http://emacsformacosx.com/ has a vc-hg.el.gz file, executing vc-next-action (C-x v v) on a Mercurial-managed file seems to have tried to register the file with bzr! Trying to execute ediff-revision results in a "blah is not under version control" message. Do I need to sprinkle some sort of magic ~/.emacs magic pixie dust to get vc to work? Thanks, Skip Montanaro
