I am not sure about MCVS, SVN, and Arch, but if we support branches for all of them (which I tend to assume), then the replacement is correct. > 2.

Is `C-x v b' meant? No, C-u C-x v v cvs <RET> is indeed the intention, because committing back to CVS is the only way to get the revision numbers consistent with CVS again. Otherwise, you would stay on a local RCS branch that was forked off some CVS revision in the past. That final sentence could be clarified as: So we suggest that you return from time to time to CVS-only operation, committing your local changes back to the repository using 'C-u C-x v v cvs RET'. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
