vc-rename-file() if possible otherwise rename-file()

[Nordlöw]

Looking for a small snippet that does vc-rename-file() when possible
(source file is under version control) otherwise default to rename-
file(). The question is: How do I check if a file is under version
control or not?

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

Look in the modeline you will see the name of the version-system backend and the
number of version. Like SVN:123 for a file under subversion version no123.
But the file didn't come under version-control alone... ;)

(if (vc-backend buffer-file-name)
    (vc-rename-file buffer-file-name new-name)
  (rename-file buffer-file-name new-name))

That sounds very useful. Something I've been missing for some time is 
the same thing but for delete, so I can easily get rid of all 
irrelevant files listed in the *svn-status* buffer.
