Subject: Inconsistent naming of VC buffers
Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 20:02:26 -0400

Package: emacs
Severity: minor

VC buffers are named inconsistently (sometimes "vc", sometimes "VC"):

emacs -Q README   # file from Emacs Bazaar repository
C-x v =     -> *vc-diff* buffer   ("vc")

Make a change to the file
C-x v v     -> *VC-log* buffer    ("VC")

M-x vc-dir  -> *vc-dir* buffer    ("vc")


Maybe it's just the log buffer that is different.

It's possible renaming the "*VC-log*" buffer to the more consistent
"*vc-log*" will make some third-party packages that look for the former
name break, but it seems unlikely.

So I've now committed this change to Emacs 24.
