Well I'm using 2 different SCMs, and I agree that it's a pain to learn the different syntaxes. However, the simplicity given by vc-mode has a cost IMO: it can hide a lot of powerfull commands or even worse make a user don't understand what he's really doing... > And I haven't really seen any major `M-x vc-dir' slowdowns (except when > the underlying SCM is slow). That happens when working with large repositories. I recall that starting emacs in a huge git repository was painfull. And some information, like name of the current branch or status of the repo, were shown somewhere on the mode line. -- Francis
