<h3>Supporting Version control systems</h3>
<p>Beginning with version 2.30 ECB supports Version-control systems (in
the following named VC-systems). This means the special tree-buffers
of ECB display files managed by a VC-system with an appropriate
image-icon<a rel=footnote href="#fn-1"><sup>1</sup></a> in front
of the filename.
<p>The following four options allow full control over this feature (see
also <a href="ecb-version-control.html#ecb-version-control">ecb-version-control</a>:
<dl>
<dt><code>ecb-vc-enable-support</code>
<dd>Enable or disable this feature.
<br><dt><code>ecb-vc-supported-backends</code>
<dd>The most important option for this feature. Allows to specify how ECB
should test if a directory is managed by a VC-system (how to identify
the VC-backend of a directory) and - if yes - how it should check the
VC-state of a certain file. The former ones are called
<dfn>identify-backend-functions</dfn> and the latter ones
<dfn>check-state-functions</dfn>.
<br><dt><code>ecb-vc-directory-exclude-regexps</code>
<dd>Allows excluding certain directories (on a regexp-basis) from the
VC-support even if they are managed by a VC-system.
<br><dt><code>ecb-vc-state-mapping</code>
<dd>Defines the mapping between the state-values returned by a
check-state-function (a function set in
<code>ecb-vc-supported-backends</code> and used for getting the VC-state of
a file, e.g. <code>vc-state</code>) and the allowed state-values ECB can
understand.
</dl>
<p>Probably the default settings will fit your needs but to get sure you
should carefully read the documentation of these options!
<p>The following subsection give you important informations about
identify-backend-functions, check-state-functions, about working with
remote repositories.
