[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#514004: mc: Show vcs informations

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2~git20080311-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi there!

it would be nice if mc would show informations about the VCS when I'm browsing
a directory which is managed by one. Most modern VCSs have bindings to c (like
git or svn), so adding support for them should be possible.

Cheers,

Bernd
