   Not mandatory, but two things:
   
   1) The new vc hasn't been around for too long yet, so I'm pretty sure we'll 
   find more things as it gets more exposure.  It would have been nice to have 
   someone look at vc-hg.el from GNU before release, perhaps to be used as a 
   mercurial.el replacement, but nobody has said anything definite about looking 
   into it so I guess it doesn't make sense to wait for it.

Using the new vc, I get this error:
    'Error in process sentinel: (error Marker does not point anywhere)' 
This happens when doing vc-diff(etc) operations on a remote cvs repository.

The error comes from '(goto-char (process-mark p))' in vc-exec-after
This is my 'fix':
