It gives me great pleasure to be able to announce that I have found,
and fixed, the bug that made C-x v d so godawful much slower than the
underlying commands.
One interesting side effect of the current behavior is that it
handles directories with multiple version controlled backends.
Consider this hierarhcy:
~/projects # not version controlled
~/projects/p1 # a project under CVS
~/projects/p1/tests # some files here under RCS
~/projects/p2 # a project under RCS
Now, C-x v d in the ~/projects directory will list all modified
files below ~/projects regardles of the BACKEND used for them.
If I understand your fix corectly, this behaviour is no longer
supported and a C-x v d in the projects directory will not do
antything, since ~/projects is not registeded with any backend.
