Re: bug#27644: 26.0.50; [PATCH] Add binding for vc-region-history

[Kaushal Modi]

Hello all,

In https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=27644, I propose a patch to bind the vc-region-history command to C-x v H.

* Why vc-region-history?

- I find that command very useful; especially to dig though who specifically touched a set of lines in emacs code and when. I used it very recently[1] to associate a strange behavior I started seeing in ggtags.el package with an upstream change in emacs.

* Why bind to C-x v H

- That binding is an easy mnemonic; the "H" in C-x v H for vc-region-(H)istory.

- That binding is available

So the questions to the list:

- How frequently do you guys use vc-region-history?

- If you bind it, what do you bind it to?

- Is there a reason why this patch should not be applied?

Thanks all.

Kaushal

Either. It's not a very technical decision, and I very rarely use this
command myself.

Sounds good to me.
