Subversion support in Emacs 23

I am very pleased to be able to announce that new VC passed review on
emacs-devel and I have just merged it into Emacs CVS. This means,
among other things, that Subversion will be *fully* supported in the
next Emacs point release. This means no more slicing of checkins into
per-file operations; a VC commit will really be a changeset commit.

I don't know when the next point release will occur. But you guys
can, and should, stop maintaining your own Emacs mode now. Emacs is
pretty easy to build from CVS, and Emacs users who need good
Subversion support would be better off being pointed up that path than
using the jagged-edged kluge you had in place. I apologize that
replacing it took so long.

I suppose the only bad news for you guys is that the atomic changeset
commits will also work for git, Mercurial, GNU Arch, and bzr, ;-)
