;; vc-dir front end.

;;; Commentary:

;; Goals:
;;
;; There is a class of front-ending problems that Emacs might be used
;; to address that involves selecting sets of files, or possibly
;; directories, and passing the selection set to slave commands.  The
;; prototypical example, from which this code is derived, is talking
;; to version-control systems.
;;
;; vc-dispatcher.el is written to decouple the UI issues in such front
;; ends from their application-specific logic.  It also provides a
;; service layer for running the slave commands either synchronously
;; or asynchronously and managing the message/error logs from the
;; command runs.
;;
;; Similar UI problems can be expected to come up in applications
;; areas other than VCSes; IDEs and document search are two obvious ones.
;; This mode is intended to ensure that the Emacs interfaces for all such
;; beasts are consistent and carefully designed.  But even if nothing
;; but VC ever uses it, getting the layer separation right will be
;; a valuable thing.

;; Dispatcher's universe:
;;
;; The universe consists of the file tree rooted at the current
;; directory.  The dispatcher's upper layer deduces some subset
;; of the file tree from the state of the currently visited buffer
;; and returns that subset, presumably to a client mode.
;;
;; The user may be looking at either of two different views; a buffer
;; visiting a file, or a directory buffer generated by vc-dispatcher.
;;
;; The lower layer of this mode runs commands in subprocesses, either
;; synchronously or asynchronously.  Commands may be launched in one
;; of two ways: they may be run immediately, or the calling mode can
;; create a closure associated with a text-entry buffer, to be
;; executed when the user types C-c to ship the buffer contents.  In
;; either case the command messages and error (if any) will remain
;; available in a status buffer.

;; Special behavior of dispatcher directory buffers:
;;
;; In dispatcher directory buffers, facilities to perform basic
;; navigation and selection operations are provided by keymap and menu
;; entries that dispatcher sets up itself, so they'll be uniform
;; across all dispatcher-using client modes.  Client modes are
;; expected to append to these to provide mode-specific bindings.
;;
;; The standard map associates a 'state' slot (that the client mode
;; may set) with each directory entry.  The dispatcher knows nothing
;; about the semantics of individual states, but mark and unmark commands
;; treat all entries with the same state as the currently selected one as
;; a unit.

;; The interface:
;;
;; The main interface to the lower level is vc-do-command.  This launches a
;; command, synchronously or asynchronously, making the output available
;; in a command log buffer.  Two other functions, (vc-start-logentry) and
;; (vc-finish-logentry), allow you to associate a command closure with an
;; annotation buffer so that when the user confirms the comment the closure
;; is run (with the comment as part of its context).
;;
;; The interface to the upper level has the two main entry points (vc-dir)
;; and (vc-dispatcher-selection-set) and a couple of convenience functions.
;; (vc-dir) sets up a dispatcher browsing buffer; (vc-dispatcher-selection-set)
;; returns a selection set of files, either the marked files in a browsing
;; buffer or the singleton set consisting of the file visited by the current
;; buffer (when that is appropriate).  It also does what is needed to ensure
;; that on-disk files and the contents of their visiting Emacs buffers
;; coincide.
;;
;; When the client mode adds a local vc-mode-line-hook to a buffer, it
;; will be called with the buffer file name as argument whenever the
;; dispatcher resyncs the buffer.

;; To do:
;;
;; - log buffers need font-locking.
