;; This should figure out the version # of the file somehow.  What is
;; the most appropriate property in WebDAV to look at for this?
(defun vc-dav-workfile-version (url)
  "Return the current workfile version of URL."

If REV is non-nil, that should become the new revision number.
COMMENT is used as a check-in comment."
  ;; This should PUT the resource and release any locks that we hold.

(defun vc-dav-checkout (url &optional editable rev destfile)
  "Check out revision REV of URL into the working area.

If EDITABLE is non-nil URL should be writable by the user and if
locking is used for URL, a lock should also be set.

If REV is non-nil, that is the revision to check out.  If REV is the
empty string, that means to check ou tht ehead of the trunk.

If optional arg DESTFILE is given, it is an alternate filename to
write the contents to.
"
  ;; This should LOCK the resource.
  )

(defun vc-dav-revert (url &optional contents-done)
  "Revert URL back to the current workfile version.

If optional arg CONTENTS-DONE is non-nil, then the contents of FILE
have already been reverted from a version backup, and this function
only needs to update the status of URL within the backend.

If REV1 and REV2 are non-nil report differences from REV1 to REV2.
If REV1 is nil, use the current workfile version as the older version.
If REV2 is nil, use the current workfile contents as the nwer version.

It should return a status of either 0 (no differences found), or
1 (either non-empty diff or the diff is run asynchronously).

  ;; We should do this asynchronously...
  ;; How would we do it at all, that is the question!

;; Should be faster than vc-dav-state - but how?

;;; Unimplemented functions
;;
;; vc-dav-latest-on-branch-p(URL)
;;    Return non-nil if the current workfile version of FILE is the
;;    latest on its branch.  There are no branches in webdav yet.
;;
;; vc-dav-mode-line-string(url)
;;    Return a dav-specific mode line string for URL. Are there any
;;    specific states that we want exposed?
;;
;; vc-dav-dired-state-info(url)
;;    Translate the `vc-state' property of URL into a string that can
;;    be used in a vc-dired buffer.  Are there any extra states that
;;    we want exposed?
;;
;; vc-dav-receive-file(url rev)
;;    Let this backend `receive' a file that is already registered
;;    under another backend.  The default just calls `register', which
;;    should be sufficient for WebDAV.
;;
;; vc-dav-unregister(url)
;;    Unregister URL.  Not possible with WebDAV, other than by
;;    deleting the resource.
