I would be interested in vc-checkin-mike and what it didn’t do. I’ve been doing most of my vc work in emacs lately, and wouldn’t mind having a nicer way to do so. I definitely need to see the file, the diff and edit the changelog. I always scroll through the diff adding to the changelog as I go.

Jacob, to clear up, by manual setup I just meant getting the windows arranged side by side, showing the right diff, etc. I believe that the SVN bundle is pretty automatic, but I can't tell if it'll show me the display I want without me mousing around a bit.

It may seem like a minor thing, but for something I do so often, it'd be nice to have the edges smoothed off.

TextMate’s SVN bundle needs no manual intervention whatsoever. Just open a folder under SVN control, and you’re set. Install the Project Plus plugin if you want to see SVN status in the drawer.

Christophe, I use GNU emacs, not XEmacs, and the screenshot is from Aquamacs, but I use many versions, including emacs inside a terminal, Carbon Emacs, and a version built for X11 and GTK+ on the mac that I compiled from source.

Lately I've been using Aquamacs most, but there are things I don't like about it. I liked the GTK+ UI of the X11 version, but couldn't get it to display Mac fonts in the 1 hour I gave myself to try last year.

Hi Michael, interesting post, just a little question, which version/flavor of emacs are you using? Thanks, Christophe
