VC key bindings not documented in mode help


From: era eriksson
Subject: VC key bindings not documented in mode help
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2001 00:05:47 +0300

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.3.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of Thu Jan 28 1999 on raven
configured using `configure  i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr 
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib 
--infodir=/usr/info --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=yes'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When you press C-h m in a buffer which is under version control via
VC, there is no documentation for the C-x v something keys in the mode
help.

There is actually some documentation, but it is in the docstring for
vc-log-mode, where nobody is likely to ever look for it. (I found out
only by stumbling over it in the source file vc.el.)

Since VC is a bit tricky in comparison with other minor modes, I'm not
sure if it's possible to somehow get this documentation into C-h m
mode help painlessly, but at the very least, the function vc-mode
could be defined solely because it's a more likely place for people to
look.
