The inner workings of remote version control
********************************************

Unlike Ange-FTP, TRAMP has full shell access to the remote machine.
This makes it possible to provide version control for files accessed
under TRAMP.

   The actual version control binaries must be installed on the remote
machine, accessible in the directories specified in TRAMP-REMOTE-PATH.

   This transparent integration with the version control systems is one
of the most valuable features provided by TRAMP, but it is far from
perfect.  Work is ongoing to improve the transparency of the system.

Version Controlled Files
Determining if a file is under version control.
Remote Commands
Executing the version control commands on the remote machine.
Changed workfiles
Detecting if the working file has changed.
Checking out files
Bringing the workfile out of the repository.
Miscellaneous Version Control
Things related to Version Control that don't fit elsewhere.
