I'm very sorry to be late.
Could you someone take over the task?
I'd like to step back from the task.
Some reasons:

1. I have some troubles in my private life,
2. I get more interests to extend vc-dired, and
3. I could not find the first step to merge DVC to Emacs.

I feel DVC is too large for me. I could not understand what 
functions are implemented in backends. Even if it is implemented,
I'm not sure the quality of implementation. Maybe because I'm
away too long from DVC development.

I think some of functions of DVC should be implemented in vc or
vc-dired.  There are some duplicated code and function among DVC and
VC. e.g. annotation.  Maybe DVC's annotation implementation is better
because DVC does most of things asynchronously.

My merge plan was that:

A. moving DVC code to VC, then
B. reorganizing the rest, then
C. merging the rest to Emacs.

However, I found I cannot take much time till this September.  Further
more you, who don't use dired, may not agree with this merge plan.

I'd like to concentrate on A. privately. 

Forgive me this selfish approach and behavior. However, on emacs-devel
list people are talking about (distributed) versoin control systems
used in GNU Emacs development now. So I think I should notify my
position and thought DVC now.
