Development of VC
VC and PCL-CVS are separate packages, both of
which help you use CVS from within emacs. VC
provides access to a more limited set of CVS
features than PCL-CVS does. The version of VC
distributed with XEmacs 20.3 and later is said to
be significantly improved from the version in
previous versions of Emacs.
If you want to turn off the colors in the output
from C-x v g, put this
in your .emacs (tested with GNU Emacs 20.2).
Presumably it would be useful to make this settable
with M-x customize in future versions of VC but
this patch doesn't do that.
Light CVS
Yet another emacs interface is Light CVS. See
the page from
Pascal Molli.
Development of PCL-CVS
Regarding PCL-CVS on Windows, here is an
unofficial patch
and some suggestions from Michael Schmitz.
This unofficial and untested patch
removes the feature of PCL-CVS 1.05 whereby it can
semi-automatically send email to a bug-reporting
address. The people at the receiving end of these
reports have shown little interest in them, as far
as I know. The XEmacs versions of CVS has a similar
change.
There is a version of PCL-CVS available from the
XEmacs folks. Despite the fact that we might call
it "XEmacs PCL-CVS", as far as we know it will run
on either XEmacs or GNU Emacs. See ftp.xemacs.org
for downloadable versions or browse the development
sources
via CVSweb. People are working on keeping the
XEmacs and ftp.weird.com versions in sync; they
should be relatively similar.
Stefan Monnier has another PCL-CVS
with new features. Stefan has since moved official development to the
EMACS project.
Obsolete patches
Here is an unofficial patch
to work around absolute pathname bugs in CVS 1.9.18
(or so) through 1.9.26. Upgrading to CVS 1.10 or
later is probably a better solution.
