* GNU Emacs git GUI

  Make git mode for Emacs full featured git GUI, and not only commit
  tool, following ideas of PCL-CVS... and its limitation. I guess that
  DVC (http://download.gna.org/dvc) git mode is one thing to examine
  searching for features to implement, but from what I have read in
  documentation it is quite a but GNU Arch centric.

The documentation is, but the tool isn't. Actually, DVC started as
"Xtla", which was _only_ a GNU Arch interface. The tool evolved a lot
since then, but the documentation is totally outdated :-(.

I wanted then tro try DVC out, but when comiling it I get the
following error message:

  Cannot open load file: dvc-site
  make[1]: *** [clean-some] Error 255
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/dvc-snapshot/++build/lisp'
  make: *** [dvc] Error 2

GNU Emacs 21.4.1, after running autoconf and ./configure.
Today's snapshot.

Best is to try the DVC's mailing list. I'm CC-ing it (it's a moderated
list for non-subscribers, your messages will take some time).

I used to be an active DVC contributor, but by lack of time, I didn't
follow closely recent development. I'm not sure Emacs 21 is still
supported (and at least, it's not well tested since most developers
run Emacs 22 themselves).
