The convention is that a file with Author: but not Maintainer:
means the author is a maintainer, which makes it confusing
when a file lists the same person as author and maintainer.
Avoid the confusion by removing the duplicate Maintainer: line.
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.

for the details.
* 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.
Alters vc/vc-bzr.el, vc/vc-cvs.el, vc/vc-dav.el, vc/vc-git.el,
vc/vc-hg.el, vc/vc-mtn.el, vc/vc-rcs.el, vc/vc-sccs.el,
vc/vc-svn.el, vc/vc.el.
where this matters (which is only in SCCS and RCS) files are now always
checked out editable. This may actually have been dynamically true
already - it looks like the vc-next-action code evolved past visiting
the other case. Tested with RCS.
Alters vc/vc-arch.el, vc/vc-bzr.el, vc/vc-cvs.el, vc/vc-dav.el,
vc/vc-git.el, vc/vc-hg.el, vc/vc-mtn.el, vc/vc-rcs.el,
vc/vc-sccs.el, vc/vc-svn.el, vc/vc.el.
Only the RCS, SCCS, and CVS back ends tried to do anything with it,
and that code was never exercised. Chiseling away the cruft of
decades...
