However! vc-dir-mark-all-files has a special behavior when it's called with C-u: it tries to mark all files in the current VC-Dir buffer.Or equivalent behavior is when typing 'M' at the top of VC-Dir buffer.Not exactly: here it only marks the files in the same state as the first file in the buffer.Right, it affects only the files in the root directory.
Ah, right. Indeed.
I really think we should optimize for the most frequent operation there. Otherwise, 'C-u M' remains fairly useless (but still takes up a key sequence). The fact that it can mark a set of files in incompatible statuses, and nobody has filed a bug report about that until now, likely indicates that people don't often use it. Or don't use it at all.Actually, marking all files with 'C-u M' is not useless. There are other VC commands that make sense to run on all marked files, e.g. search in all files marked by 'C-u M', query-replace, delete, etc.
Hmm, you might be right. If we're sure that people do take advantage of that, let's keep it.
We could tweak it a little, though. Like: M -> mark all files in the same status C-u M -> mark all registered files C-u C-u M -> mark all files in the vc-dir buffer Or bind vc-dir-mark-registered to a new char indeed, e.g. 'r'.
