I see you ran your tests by writing Lisp exercisers for the mode. That
was an excellent idea. Why leave it as a one-shot?
Instead of doing one-off tests, please take the amount of time you
would have allocated for those and write a Lisp exerciser for the
whole edit cycle - registration, checkout, modification, checkin,
diff, etc. The more cases in vc-action you can visit, the better.
We could then add this to Emacs's self-tests, and I would have a regression
check to run periodically while I modify the mode.
I had been planning to this do myself sometime in the next few days,
but it would actually be better if it were written by someone who
isn't as close to the VC code as I am. I might carry in too many
unconscious assumptions and fail to test edge cases properly.
