Very interesting. Thanks.

DVC is far more complete than VC/VC-Dir for working with Bazaar. There
are packages specific for git, but Bazaar lacks those.

I've make some quickfixes for working with it on Windows. Some tweaking
ameliorated the issue with temporal buffers when diffing. There is a
annoyance with coding systems (Emacs asks for the coding system when DVC
diffs and the file contains non-ASCII characters) but I guess it is
fixable too.

My exprience with DVC is quite limited, so I'll aks:

Does it contain serious bugs?

Do you recommend to *not* use it?

Are you really interested on patches? (I mean, have DVC a user base so
the patches are useful for them?)

The new VC implementation in Emacs 23 is very complete on some areas
(and totally lacking on others). It is okay to send patches wich
delegates DVC features on VC functions, when DVC is buggy and VC does
the right thing?
