32.1.7 VC Directory Mode

When you are working on a large program, it is often useful to find out which files have changed within an entire directory tree, or to view the status of all files under version control at once, and to perform version control operations on collections of files. You can use the command C-x v d (vc-dir) to make a directory listing that includes only files relevant for version control. This creates a VC Directory buffer and displays it in a separate window.

The VC Directory buffer works with all the version control systems that VC supports. For CVS, Emacs also offers a more powerful facility called PCL-CVS. See About PCL-CVS.
