;;
;; In July 2007 ESR returned and redesigned the mode to cope better
;; with modern version-control systems that do commits by fileset
;; rather than per individual file.
;;
;; If you maintain a client of the mode or customize it in your .emacs,
;; note that some backend functions which formerly took single file arguments
;; now take a list of files.  These include: register, checkin, print-log,
;; rollback, and diff.

;;; Commentary:

;; This mode is fully documented in the Emacs user's manual.
;;
;; Supported version-control systems presently include CVS, RCS, GNU
;; Arch, Subversion, Bzr, Git, Mercurial, Monotone and SCCS
;; (or its free replacement, CSSC).
;;
;; If your site uses the ChangeLog convention supported by Emacs, the
;; function `log-edit-comment-to-change-log' could prove a useful checkin hook,
;; although you might prefer to use C-c C-a (i.e. `log-edit-insert-changelog')
;; from the commit buffer instead or to set `log-edit-setup-invert'.
;;
;; The vc code maintains some internal state in order to reduce expensive
;; version-control operations to a minimum.  Some names are only computed
;; once.  If you perform version control operations with the backend while
;; vc's back is turned, or move/rename master files while vc is running,
;; vc may get seriously confused.  Don't do these things!
;;
;; ADDING SUPPORT FOR OTHER BACKENDS
;;
;; VC can use arbitrary version control systems as a backend.  To add
;; support for a new backend named SYS, write a library vc-sys.el that
;; contains functions of the form `vc-sys-...' (note that SYS is in lower
;; case for the function and library names).  VC will use that library if
;; you put the symbol SYS somewhere into the list of
;; `vc-handled-backends'.  Then, for example, if `vc-sys-registered'
;; returns non-nil for a file, all SYS-specific versions of VC commands
;; will be available for that file.
;;
;; VC keeps some per-file information in the form of properties (see
;; vc-file-set/getprop in vc-hooks.el).  The backend-specific functions
;; do not generally need to be aware of these properties.  For example,
;; `vc-sys-working-revision' should compute the working revision and
;; return it; it should not look it up in the property, and it needn't
;; store it there either.  However, if a backend-specific function does
;; store a value in a property, that value takes precedence over any
;; value that the generic code might want to set (check for uses of
;; the macro `with-vc-properties' in vc.el).
;;
;; In the list of functions below, each identifier needs to be prepended
;; with `vc-sys-'.  Some of the functions are mandatory (marked with a
;; `*'), others are optional (`-').
;;
;; BACKEND PROPERTIES
;;
;; * revision-granularity
;;
;;   Takes no arguments.  Returns either 'file or 'repository.  Backends
;;   that return 'file have per-file revision numbering; backends
;;   that return 'repository have per-repository revision numbering,
;;   so a revision level implicitly identifies a changeset
;;
;; STATE-QUERYING FUNCTIONS
;;
;; * registered (file)
;;
;;   Return non-nil if FILE is registered in this backend.  Both this
;;   function as well as `state' should be careful to fail gracefully
;;   in the event that the backend executable is absent.  It is
;;   preferable that this function's body is autoloaded, that way only
;;   calling vc-registered does not cause the backend to be loaded
;;   (all the vc-FOO-registered functions are called to try to find
;;   the controlling backend for FILE.
;;
;; * state (file)
;;
;;   Return the current version control state of FILE.  For a list of
;;   possible values, see `vc-state'.  This function should do a full and
;;   reliable state computation; it is usually called immediately after
;;   C-x v v.  If you want to use a faster heuristic when visiting a
;;   file, put that into `state-heuristic' below.  Note that under most
;;   VCSes this won't be called at all, dir-status is used instead.
;;
;; - state-heuristic (file)
;;
;;   If provided, this function is used to estimate the version control
;;   state of FILE at visiting time.  It should be considerably faster
;;   than the implementation of `state'.  For a list of possible values,
;;   see the doc string of `vc-state'.
;;
;; - dir-status (dir update-function)
;;
;;   Produce RESULT: a list of lists of the form (FILE VC-STATE EXTRA)
;;   for the files in DIR.
;;   EXTRA can be used for backend specific information about FILE.
;;   If a command needs to be run to compute this list, it should be
;;   run asynchronously using (current-buffer) as the buffer for the
;;   command.  When RESULT is computed, it should be passed back by
;;   doing: (funcall UPDATE-FUNCTION RESULT nil).
;;   If the backend uses a process filter, hence it produces partial results,
;;   they can be passed back by doing:
;;      (funcall UPDATE-FUNCTION RESULT t)
;;   and then do a (funcall UPDATE-FUNCTION RESULT nil)
;;   when all the results have been computed.
;;   To provide more backend specific functionality for `vc-dir'
;;   the following functions might be needed: `dir-extra-headers',
;;   `dir-printer', `extra-dir-menu' and `dir-status-files'.
;;
;; - dir-status-files (dir files default-state update-function)
;;
;;   This function is identical to dir-status except that it should
;;   only report status for the specified FILES. Also it needs to
;;   report on all requested files, including up-to-date or ignored
;;   files. If not provided, the default is to consider that the files
;;   are in DEFAULT-STATE.
;;
;; - dir-extra-headers (dir)
;;
;;   Return a string that will be added to the *vc-dir* buffer header.
;;
;; - dir-printer (fileinfo)
;;
;;   Pretty print the `vc-dir-fileinfo' FILEINFO.
;;   If a backend needs to show more information than the default FILE
;;   and STATE in the vc-dir listing, it can store that extra
;;   information in `vc-dir-fileinfo->extra'.  This function can be
;;   used to display that extra information in the *vc-dir* buffer.
;;
;; - status-fileinfo-extra (file)
;;
;;   Compute `vc-dir-fileinfo->extra' for FILE.
;;
;; * working-revision (file)
;;
;;   Return the working revision of FILE.  This is the revision fetched
;;   by the last checkout or upate, not necessarily the same thing as the
;;   head or tip revision.  Should return "0" for a file added but not yet
;;   committed.
;;
;; - latest-on-branch-p (file)
;;
;;   Return non-nil if the working revision of FILE is the latest revision
;;   on its branch (many VCSes call this the 'tip' or 'head' revision).
;;   The default implementation always returns t, which means that
;;   working with non-current revisions is not supported by default.
;;
;; * checkout-model (files)
;;
;;   Indicate whether FILES need to be "checked out" before they can be
;;   edited.  See `vc-checkout-model' for a list of possible values.
;;
;; - workfile-unchanged-p (file)
;;
;;   Return non-nil if FILE is unchanged from the working revision.
;;   This function should do a brief comparison of FILE's contents
;;   with those of the repository master of the working revision.  If
;;   the backend does not have such a brief-comparison feature, the
;;   default implementation of this function can be used, which
;;   delegates to a full vc-BACKEND-diff.  (Note that vc-BACKEND-diff
;;   must not run asynchronously in this case, see variable
;;   `vc-disable-async-diff'.)
;;
;; - mode-line-string (file)
;;
;;   If provided, this function should return the VC-specific mode
;;   line string for FILE.  The returned string should have a
;;   `help-echo' property which is the text to be displayed as a
;;   tooltip when the mouse hovers over the VC entry on the mode-line.
;;   The default implementation deals well with all states that
;;   `vc-state' can return.
;;
;; STATE-CHANGING FUNCTIONS
;;
;; * create-repo (backend)
;;
;;   Create an empty repository in the current directory and initialize
;;   it so VC mode can add files to it.  For file-oriented systems, this
;;   need do no more than create a subdirectory with the right name.
;;
;; * register (files &optional rev comment)
;;
;;   Register FILES in this backend.  Optionally, an initial revision REV
;;   and an initial description of the file, COMMENT, may be specified,
;;   but it is not guaranteed that the backend will do anything with this.
;;   The implementation should pass the value of vc-register-switches
;;   to the backend command.  (Note: in older versions of VC, this
;;   command took a single file argument and not a list.)
;;
;; - init-revision (file)
;;
;;   The initial revision to use when registering FILE if one is not
;;   specified by the user.  If not provided, the variable
;;   vc-default-init-revision is used instead.
;;
;; - responsible-p (file)
;;
;;   Return non-nil if this backend considers itself "responsible" for
;;   FILE, which can also be a directory.  This function is used to find
;;   out what backend to use for registration of new files and for things
;;   like change log generation.  The default implementation always
;;   returns nil.
;;
;; - could-register (file)
;;
;;   Return non-nil if FILE could be registered under this backend.  The
;;   default implementation always returns t.
;;
;; - receive-file (file rev)
;;
;;   Let this backend "receive" a file that is already registered under
;;   another backend.  The default implementation simply calls `register'
;;   for FILE, but it can be overridden to do something more specific,
;;   e.g. keep revision numbers consistent or choose editing modes for
;;   FILE that resemble those of the other backend.
;;
;; - unregister (file)
;;
;;   Unregister FILE from this backend.  This is only needed if this
;;   backend may be used as a "more local" backend for temporary editing.
;;
;; * checkin (files rev comment)
;;
;;   Commit changes in FILES to this backend.  If REV is non-nil, that
;;   should become the new revision number (not all backends do
;;   anything with it).  COMMENT is used as a check-in comment.  The
;;   implementation should pass the value of vc-checkin-switches to
;;   the backend command.  (Note: in older versions of VC, this
;;   command took a single file argument and not a list.)
;;
;; * find-revision (file rev buffer)
;;
;;   Fetch revision REV of file FILE and put it into BUFFER.
;;   If REV is the empty string, fetch the head of the trunk.
;;   The implementation should pass the value of vc-checkout-switches
;;   to the backend command.
;;
;; * checkout (file &optional editable rev)
;;
;;   Check out revision REV of FILE into the working area.  If EDITABLE
;;   is non-nil, FILE should be writable by the user and if locking is
;;   used for FILE, a lock should also be set.  If REV is non-nil, that
;;   is the revision to check out (default is the working revision).
;;   If REV is t, that means to check out the head of the current branch;
;;   if it is the empty string, check out the head of the trunk.
;;   The implementation should pass the value of vc-checkout-switches
;;   to the backend command.
;;
;; * revert (file &optional contents-done)
;;
;;   Revert FILE back to the working revision.  If optional
;;   arg CONTENTS-DONE is non-nil, then the contents of FILE have
;;   already been reverted from a version backup, and this function
;;   only needs to update the status of FILE within the backend.
;;   If FILE is in the `added' state it should be returned to the
;;   `unregistered' state.
;;
;; - rollback (files)
;;
;;   Remove the tip revision of each of FILES from the repository.  If
;;   this function is not provided, trying to cancel a revision is
;;   caught as an error.  (Most backends don't provide it.)  (Also
;;   note that older versions of this backend command were called
;;   'cancel-version' and took a single file arg, not a list of
;;   files.)
;;
;; - merge (file rev1 rev2)
;;
;;   Merge the changes between REV1 and REV2 into the current working file.
;;
;; - merge-news (file)
;;
;;   Merge recent changes from the current branch into FILE.
;;
;; - steal-lock (file &optional revision)
;;
;;   Steal any lock on the working revision of FILE, or on REVISION if
;;   that is provided.  This function is only needed if locking is
;;   used for files under this backend, and if files can indeed be
;;   locked by other users.
;;
;; - modify-change-comment (files rev comment)
;;
;;   Modify the change comments associated with the files at the
;;   given revision.  This is optional, many backends do not support it.
;;
;; - mark-resolved (files)
;;
;;   Mark conflicts as resolved.  Some VC systems need to run a
;;   command to mark conflicts as resolved.
;;
;; HISTORY FUNCTIONS
;;
;; * print-log (files buffer &optional shortlog start-revision limit)
;;
;;   Insert the revision log for FILES into BUFFER.
;;   If SHORTLOG is true insert a short version of the log.
;;   If LIMIT is true insert only insert LIMIT log entries.  If the
;;   backend does not support limiting the number of entries to show
;;   it should return `limit-unsupported'.
;;   If START-REVISION is given, then show the log starting from the
;;   revision.  At this point START-REVISION is only required to work
;;   in conjunction with LIMIT = 1.
;;
;; - log-view-mode ()
;;
;;   Mode to use for the output of print-log.  This defaults to
;;   `log-view-mode' and is expected to be changed (if at all) to a derived
;;   mode of `log-view-mode'.
;;
;; - show-log-entry (revision)
;;
;;   If provided, search the log entry for REVISION in the current buffer,
;;   and make sure it is displayed in the buffer's window.  The default
;;   implementation of this function works for RCS-style logs.
;;
;; - comment-history (file)
;;
;;   Return a string containing all log entries that were made for FILE.
;;   This is used for transferring a file from one backend to another,
;;   retaining comment information.
;;
;; - update-changelog (files)
;;
;;   Using recent log entries, create ChangeLog entries for FILES, or for
;;   all files at or below the default-directory if FILES is nil.  The
;;   default implementation runs rcs2log, which handles RCS- and
;;   CVS-style logs.
;;
;; * diff (files &optional rev1 rev2 buffer)
;;
;;   Insert the diff for FILE into BUFFER, or the *vc-diff* buffer if
;;   BUFFER is nil.  If REV1 and REV2 are non-nil, report differences
;;   from REV1 to REV2.  If REV1 is nil, use the working revision (as
;;   found in the repository) as the older revision; if REV2 is nil,
;;   use the current working-copy contents as the newer revision.  This
;;   function should pass the value of (vc-switches BACKEND 'diff) to
;;   the backend command.  It should return a status of either 0 (no
;;   differences found), or 1 (either non-empty diff or the diff is
;;   run asynchronously).
;;
;; - revision-completion-table (files)
;;
;;   Return a completion table for existing revisions of FILES.
;;   The default is to not use any completion table.
;;
;; - annotate-command (file buf &optional rev)
;;
;;   If this function is provided, it should produce an annotated display
;;   of FILE in BUF, relative to revision REV.  Annotation means each line
;;   of FILE displayed is prefixed with version information associated with
;;   its addition (deleted lines leave no history) and that the text of the
;;   file is fontified according to age.
;;
;; - annotate-time ()
;;
;;   Only required if `annotate-command' is defined for the backend.
;;   Return the time of the next line of annotation at or after point,
;;   as a floating point fractional number of days.  The helper
;;   function `vc-annotate-convert-time' may be useful for converting
;;   multi-part times as returned by `current-time' and `encode-time'
;;   to this format.  Return nil if no more lines of annotation appear
;;   in the buffer.  You can safely assume that point is placed at the
;;   beginning of each line, starting at `point-min'.  The buffer that
;;   point is placed in is the Annotate output, as defined by the
;;   relevant backend.  This function also affects how much of the line
;;   is fontified; where it leaves point is where fontification begins.
;;
;; - annotate-current-time ()
;;
;;   Only required if `annotate-command' is defined for the backend,
;;   AND you'd like the current time considered to be anything besides
;;   (vc-annotate-convert-time (current-time)) -- i.e. the current
;;   time with hours, minutes, and seconds included.  Probably safe to
;;   ignore.  Return the current-time, in units of fractional days.
;;
;; - annotate-extract-revision-at-line ()
;;
;;   Only required if `annotate-command' is defined for the backend.
;;   Invoked from a buffer in vc-annotate-mode, return the revision
;;   corresponding to the current line, or nil if there is no revision
;;   corresponding to the current line.
;;   If the backend supports annotating through copies and renames,
;;   and displays a file name and a revision, then return a cons
;;   (REVISION . FILENAME).
;;
;; TAG SYSTEM
;;
;; - create-tag (dir name branchp)
;;
;;   Attach the tag NAME to the state of the working copy.  This
;;   should make sure that files are up-to-date before proceeding with
;;   the action.  DIR can also be a file and if BRANCHP is specified,
;;   NAME should be created as a branch and DIR should be checked out
;;   under this new branch.  The default implementation does not
;;   support branches but does a sanity check, a tree traversal and
;;   assigns the tag to each file.
;;
;; - retrieve-tag (dir name update)
;;
;;   Retrieve the version tagged by NAME of all registered files at or below DIR.
;;   If UPDATE is non-nil, then update buffers of any files in the
;;   tag that are currently visited.  The default implementation
;;   does a sanity check whether there aren't any uncommitted changes at
;;   or below DIR, and then performs a tree walk, using the `checkout'
;;   function to retrieve the corresponding revisions.
;;
;; MISCELLANEOUS
;;
;; - make-version-backups-p (file)
;;
;;   Return non-nil if unmodified repository revisions of FILE should be
;;   backed up locally.  If this is done, VC can perform `diff' and
;;   `revert' operations itself, without calling the backend system.  The
;;   default implementation always returns nil.
;;
;; - root (file)
;;   Return the root of the VC controlled hierarchy for file.
;;
;; - repository-hostname (dirname)
;;
;;   Return the hostname that the backend will have to contact
;;   in order to operate on a file in DIRNAME.  If the return value
;;   is nil, it means that the repository is local.
;;   This function is used in `vc-stay-local-p' which backends can use
;;   for their convenience.
;;
;; - previous-revision (file rev)
;;
;;   Return the revision number that precedes REV for FILE, or nil if no such
;;   revision exists.
;;
;; - next-revision (file rev)
;;
;;   Return the revision number that follows REV for FILE, or nil if no such
;;   revision exists.
;;
;; - check-headers ()
;;
;;   Return non-nil if the current buffer contains any version headers.
;;
;; - clear-headers ()
;;
;;   In the current buffer, reset all version headers to their unexpanded
;;   form.  This function should be provided if the state-querying code
;;   for this backend uses the version headers to determine the state of
;;   a file.  This function will then be called whenever VC changes the
;;   version control state in such a way that the headers would give
;;   wrong information.
;;
;; - delete-file (file)
;;
;;   Delete FILE and mark it as deleted in the repository.  If this
;;   function is not provided, the command `vc-delete-file' will
;;   signal an error.
;;
;; - rename-file (old new)
;;
;;   Rename file OLD to NEW, both in the working area and in the
;;   repository.  If this function is not provided, the renaming
;;   will be done by (vc-delete-file old) and (vc-register new).
;;
;; - find-file-hook ()
;;
;;   Operation called in current buffer when opening a file.  This can
;;   be used by the backend to setup some local variables it might need.
;;
;; - extra-menu ()
;;
;;   Return a menu keymap, the items in the keymap will appear at the
;;   end of the Version Control menu.  The goal is to allow backends
;;   to specify extra menu items that appear in the VC menu.  This way
;;   you can provide menu entries for functionality that is specific
;;   to your backend and which does not map to any of the VC generic
;;   concepts.
;;
;; - extra-dir-menu ()
;;
;;   Return a menu keymap, the items in the keymap will appear at the
;;   end of the VC Status menu.  The goal is to allow backends to
;;   specify extra menu items that appear in the VC Status menu.  This
;;   makes it possible to provide menu entries for functionality that
;;   is specific to a backend and which does not map to any of the VC
;;   generic concepts.

;;; Todo:

;; - Get rid of the "master file" terminology.

;; - Add key-binding for vc-delete-file.

;;;; New Primitives:
;;
;; - deal with push/pull operations.
;;
;; - add a mechanism for editing the underlying VCS's list of files
;;   to be ignored, when that's possible.
;;
;;;; Primitives that need changing:
;;
;; - vc-update/vc-merge should deal with VC systems that don't
;;   update/merge on a file basis, but on a whole repository basis.
;;   vc-update and vc-merge assume the arguments are always files,
;;   they don't deal with directories.  Make sure the *vc-dir* buffer
;;   is updated after these operations.
;;   At least bzr, git and hg should benefit from this.
;;
;;;; Improved branch and tag handling:
;;
;; - add a generic mechanism for remembering the current branch names,
;;   display the branch name in the mode-line. Replace
;;   vc-cvs-sticky-tag with that.
;;
;; - vc-create-tag and vc-retrieve-tag should update the
;;   buffers that might be visiting the affected files.
;;
;;;; Internal cleanups:
;;
;; - backends that care about vc-stay-local should try to take it into
;;   account for vc-dir.  Is this likely to be useful???  YES!
;;
;; - vc-expand-dirs should take a backend parameter and only look for
;;   files managed by that backend.
;;
;; - Another important thing: merge all the status-like backend operations.
;;   We should remove dir-status, state, and dir-status-files, and
;;   replace them with just `status' which takes a fileset and a continuation
;;   (like dir-status) and returns a buffer in which the process(es) are run
;;   (or nil if it worked synchronously).  Hopefully we can define the old
;;   4 operations in term of this one.
;;
;;;; Other
;;
;; - when a file is in `conflict' state, turn on smerge-mode.
;;
;; - figure out what to do with conflicts that are not caused by the
;;   file contents, but by metadata or other causes.  Example: File A
;;   gets renamed to B in one branch and to C in another and you merge
;;   the two branches.  Or you locally add file FOO and then pull a
;;   change that also adds a new file FOO, ...
;;
;; - make it easier to write logs.  Maybe C-x 4 a should add to the log
;;   buffer, if one is present, instead of adding to the ChangeLog.
;;
;; - When vc-next-action calls vc-checkin it could pre-fill the
;;   *VC-log* buffer with some obvious items: the list of files that
;;   were added, the list of files that were removed.  If the diff is
;;   available, maybe it could even call something like
;;   `diff-add-change-log-entries-other-window' to create a detailed
;;   skeleton for the log...
;;
;; - most vc-dir backends need more work.  They might need to
;;   provide custom headers, use the `extra' field and deal with all
;;   possible VC states.
;;
;; - add a function that calls vc-dir to `find-directory-functions'.
;;
;; - vc-diff, vc-annotate, etc. need to deal better with unregistered
;;   files. Now that unregistered and ignored files are shown in
;;   vc-dir, it is possible that these commands are called
;;   for unregistered/ignored files.
;;
;; - vc-next-action needs work in order to work with multiple
;;   backends: `vc-state' returns the state for the default backend,
