+;; 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, ...
;;
;; - 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.
;;
+;; - C-x v b does switch to a different backend, but the mode line is not
+;; adapted accordingly. Also, it considers RCS and CVS to be the same,
+;; which is pretty confusing.
+;;
;; - vc-diff should be able to show the diff for all files in a
;; changeset, especially for VC systems that have per repository
;; version numbers. log-view should take advantage of this.
;; Those logs should likely use a local variable to hardware the VC they
;; are supposed to work with.
;;
+;; - Another important thing: merge all the status-like backend operations.
+;; We should remove dir-status, state, dir-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.
+;;
;; - backends that care about vc-stay-local should try to take it into
;; account for vc-dir. Is this likely to be useful???
;;
;; - vc-dir listing needs a footer generated when it's done to make it obvious
;; that it has finished.
