The VC backend is a per-file mode, that's handy when you are editing a file and want a quick diff/revert/commit of just that file; the commands are executed directly from the buffer containing the file. When making bigger changes, you should use the git-status mode (the one in git.el), which is a tree browser that gives you a view of the whole project. > Can we get a new merge conflict mode that generates .rej files?

From the git-status buffer, if you edit a file with 'f' it will automatically turn on smerge mode if there are conflicts, or you can edit it in ediff merge mode with 'd E' like under pcl-cvs. Is that what you mean? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard@xxxxxxxxxx - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
