You can look through modes, described in my article at http://xtalk.msk.su/~ott/en/writings/emacs-vcs/EmacsGit.html In DVC, as i remember, support for Git is still very basic -- With best wishes, Alex Ott, MBA http://alexott.blogspot.com/ http://xtalk.msk.su/~ott/ http://alexott-ru.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
