Re: help-gnu-emacs Digest, Vol 107, Issue 23

[Chris Carlson]

Thank you very much, Kevin.  I have this in my .emacs file:

(setq-default vc-initial-comment t)

It still doesn't ask for a comment.  Since vc-register is defined in vc.el, one would think vc-initial-comment would be accessed in this file.  It isn't.  As a matter of fact, I can't find a vc-*.el file where it is used.

Do you think I should submit a bug report?
Chris

In a previous version of Emacs, I'm not sure how long ago, when I did a
"vc-register" operation, Emacs would automatically open a buffer for the
"Description." This would allow me to enter a description of the file being
registered for RCS, CVS or SVN.

Now I find that "vc-register" just registers the file with no description. I've
looked in the vc*.el files and cannot see where it even considers opening a
buffer for the description.

Is this a feature that has been removed?
    

vc-initial-comment is a variable defined in `vc.el'.
Its value is nil

Documentation:
If non-nil, prompt for initial comment when a file is registered.

You can customize this variable.
