The monotone backend for DVC has some work-arounds for this; see lisp/xmtn-dvc.el xmtn--revision-get-file-helper. We should consider moving this into the front end. > My exprience with DVC is quite limited, so I'll aks: > > Does it contain serious bugs? I use the monotone and bazaar backends; monotone extensively for work, bazaar for DVC itself. I'm continuously working on the monotone backend, making it better. It has no serious bugs currently. The bazaar backend also has no serious bugs that I know of. > Do you recommend to *not* use it? No, it's the best front end for distributed VCS that I'm aware of.

I have no idea what the DVC user base might be. I've never gotten email requesting help or information about how to use the monotone backend. > The new VC implementation in Emacs 23 is very complete on some areas > (and totally lacking on others).

I think that makes sense in general, but I'd be surprised if it actually works; Emacs VC and DVC have very different paradigms. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
