I mean like vc-state but for a whole repository, say vc-dir-state(DIR)
and should be behave something like the following (using CVS as
example):
A function that runs "cvs update" and return, say 'up-to-date, if no
file in repository was changed otherwise say 'patched.
If this function returns 'patched we know that something was changed
and we need to rebuild things...
