** In vc-retrieve-snapshot (C-x v r), if you don't specify a snapshot<BR>
name, it retrieves the *latest* versions of all files in the current
directory and its subdirectories (aside from files already locked).
<P>
This feature is useful if your RCS directory is a link to a common
master directory, and you want to pick up changes made by other
developers.
<P>
You can do the same thing for an individual file by typing C-u C-x C-q
RET in a buffer visiting that file.
