New Revision: 1205968
URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1205968&view=rev
Log:
We only keep vc-svn.el in our tree for the benefit of Emacs 21 which
has no vc-mode for Subversion at all, and dsvn.el needs one. Clarify
that, and add code to make sure it isn't accidentally used with newer
Emacses - something that has occurred from time to time, causing
confusion and anger.
* contrib/client-side/vc-svn.el
(comment): Clarify the file's purpose.
(toplevel): Signal an error if used with Emacs 22 or newer, instead of
failing later in mysterious ways.

-;;; ## http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/lisp/vc-svn.el. ##
-;;; ## The version here is maintained only because it is compatible with ##

-;;; ## FSF tree hasn't made it into an official release of Emacs yet. ##
-;;; ## Eventually it will, though, and sometime after that the version ##
-;;; ## here will go away. ##
+;;; ## Emacs 21 does not come with a working vc-mode for Subversion, and ##
+;;; ## in particular, dsvn.el needs one. This file is provided for those ##
+;;; ## who use that Emacs version. ##
;;; ## ##
+;;; ## Emacs 22 and newer versions come with a Subversion-capable vc-mode ##
+;;; ## and should not use this file. ##
+;;; ## ##
+;;; ## This file is a mild fork of vc-svn.el from the Emacs source tree. ##
+;;; ## It may go away at some undetermined point in the future, when ##
+;;; ## support of Emacs 21 becomes completely irrelevant. ##
+;;; ##
##
+;;; ## Maintenance of the vc-mode for Subversion should be done first and ##
+;;; ## foremost in the Emacs tree, and changes done to this file only ##
+;;; ## when necessary. ##
