Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
* lisp/vc/vc-bzr.el, lisp/vc/vc-cvs.el, lisp/vc/vc-hg.el:
* lisp/vc/vc-rcs.el, lisp/vc/vc-src.el:
Declare functions defined elsewhere, to forestall “might not
be defined at runtime” warnings.
* vc/vc-hooks.el (vc-state, vc-working-revision):
Use `vc-responsible-backend' in order to support unregistered files.
* vc/vc-rcs.el (vc-rcs-fetch-master-state):
* vc/vc-sccs.el (vc-sccs-working-revision): Handle undefined
master name.
* vc/vc-rcs.el (vc-rcs-unregister): Support unregistered files.
* vc/vc-src.el (vc-src-working-revision): Do not return an empty string.
* vc/vc.el, vc/vc-hg.el, vc/vc-git.el, vc/vc-hooks.el,
vc/vc-mtn.el, vc/vc-rcs.el, vc/vc-sccs.el, vc/vc-src.el: rrollback
method removed, to be replaced in the future by uncommit.
* vc.el, all backends: API simplification: Remove 4th 'default-state'
argument from vc-dir-status files and its backend methods - no backend
method ever set it. It was used only in the fallback method to to set
a default of 'up-to-date, though a convoluted call chain obscured
this.
* vc/vc.el and all backends: API simplification; clear-headers is no
longer a public method. It is now local to the one place it's used,
in the RCS steal-lock method.
* vc/vc.el, vc-hooks.el, and all backends: API simplification;
vc-state-heuristic is no longer a public method, having been removed
where it is redundant, unnecessary, or known buggy. This eliminated
all backends except CVS. Eliminates bug#7850.
* vc/vc.el, vc-hooks.el, and all backends: API simplification;
vc-workfile-unchanged-p is no longer a public method (but the RCS and
SCCS back ends retain it as a private method used in state
computation). This method was redundant with vc-state and usually
implemented as a trivial call to same. Fixes the failure mode
described in bug#694.
This hasn't made any sense since RCS, and was a dumb stunt then.
* vc/vc.el and all backends: API simplification; init-revision is
gone, and vc-registered functions no longer take an initial-revision
argument.
