Correction: C-x v v.
That functionality of "C-x v v" is only available for Git (and
basically is undocumented), so it's too early to declare victory.
It's available for Git, for Hg (two separate dedicated implementations),
and for the other VCSes too on best-effort basis (see the function
vc-default-checkin-patch).
Yes, I found this out by now, thanks. Which makes it even worse that
no documentation of "C-x v v" mentions that, anywhere! (And many
things that "C-x v v" did for years aren't documented, either, sigh.)
We should do better than that.
We should. But the problem started at the "no feedback" step.
When there is no interest even among the greybeards on this list, why
spend extra effort advertising something untested?
