From: Rustom Mody Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:28:43 GMT Subject: vc in emacs problem with git Message-ID: This is emacs 23 using the new 'updated-for-modern-dvcs' vc I see a mode line saying (note the colon) Git:master In the info on vc (Version control and the mode line) the emacs manual says:   The character between the back-end name and the revision ID indicates the version control status of the file.  `-' means that the work file is not locked (if locking is in use), or not modified (if locking is not in use).  `:' indicates that the file is locked, or that it is modified. However at the shell a git status says # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) If I close and reopen the file the colon becomes a - But I get a message: `working-revision' not found: using the old `workfile-version' instead.
