Re: vc-set-mode-line-busy-indicator

[Richard Stallman]

    vc-diff was one of the reasons for adding the mode-line notification:
    the user can't see that the output is complete.

It moves point when it completes, so that you can tell.
Until then, point remains at the top.

If you start moving point before it completes, then
maybe you can't tell, unless you move to the end.

Are we talking about the mode line of that buffer only?
That might be reasonable.  I thought people were talking
about mode lines of all buffers.
