I generally like the changes to the mode-line for files under version control
but have a few suggestions:
1) "Edited file" sounds a bit ambiguous to me, like maybe I haven't saved my
changes. "Locally Modified" is what CVS uses with "cvs status", and this
seems clearer to me.
2) Do we really need to explain that "CVS" in the mode-line means
"under the CVS version control system" in the help-echo? It's kind of
long and seems a bit repetitive, unlike explaining the difference between
":" and "-" which _is_ obscure.
3) Its not clear what VC is in "mouse-1: VC Menu". Replacing it with
"mouse-1: version control" would be self-explanatory and help compensate for
the proposed change in 2).
With these changes I also think the help-echo would fit well on one line.
