Subversion support in Emacs?

[D. D. Brierton]

I haven't had a chance to test out any of the test or RC releases of FC3
yet. I'm also unsure of how patched the version of Emacs is. Does FC3
come with any Emacs support for Subversion out of the box? As subversion
now seems to be the FC revision control tool of choice it would be nice
if Emacs had support for it as part of the core distribution.

I know that Emacs CVS now includes vc-svn.el which is an svn backend for
vc, and the version in Emacs CVS seems to be an amalgam or superset of
the version of vc-svn.el which was part of Subversion. That would seem
to be the ideal candidate for inclusion; perhaps it already is included?
There is also psvn.el which is an svn version of pcl-cvs. Whilst
searching around I noticed that ALTLinux provide an emacs-subversion RPM
(http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1486585/com/emacs-subversion-1.0.9-alt1.i586.rpm.html) which includes psvn.el, vc-svn.el and a site-start.d/subversion.el. Perhaps something like that could be included with future version of FC if that functionality is not already included in either the Emacs or the Subversion RPM.

Best, Darren
