Subject: mouse-2 in vc-directory on filename
Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 19:11:35 +1300
In vc-directory, mouse-2 on a toggles the mark.  This is unintuitive and
inconsistent with with PCL-CVS and Emacs general use of mouse-2 to link to
something else.  It should visit the file at that point in another buffer.

Does anyone object?

(This applies to mouse-1 as well; I just added the follow-link behavior
to vc-dir, which was missing before.)

Not PCL-CVS's author.  Mouse-clicks on various parts don't all have
a clear meaning (IIRC PCL-CVS interprets a mouse click on the status
word as toggle-the-mark, which is not necessarily such a hot idea), but
on the file name, I think it's pretty uncontroversial.
