Oops that is what I feared. It is a bit paradoxical that Xemacs uses HG
but does not support it. I am now starting to move from RCS to HG[1]

Be it as it may GNU emacs vc is now *very* different from the Xemacs one
(5 years of development?) They moved out some functionality for RCS and
only after I begged some of these functionality was re installed.

They support git and hg, although the git support is a bit better as far
as I can tell, not surprising given that emacs uses git for its
development.

Anyhow I don't have any patch to offer.
