aegis.el --- An Emacs library for Aegis


aegis.el is a  elisp library designed to make Aegis accessible from
an Emacs session. 

The design model of aegis.el is completely different from Tom
Potter's aegis-mode.el (http://acsys.anu.edu.au/~tpot/aegis-mode)
which is an Emacs major mode and thus requires you to change modes
whenever you need to interact with Aegis.

By contrast, aegis.el is completely modeless.  It tries to be as
unintrusive as possible, thus allowing you to get on with the job
of writing software, whilst allowing you to use Aegis without
having to quit Emacs or switch to another X window to do it.

Features
========

* All Aegis commands are accessible from within Emacs.

* Command arguments are automatically completed with sensible
  default values gathered from the state of the project/change.

* Any interactive Aegis commands are seemlessly integrated into the
  current Emacs session.  No more  spawning editors.

* Very little Emacs experience required to get started (but you do
  need to know Aegis).  All commands are analagous to the Aegis
  shell commands --- just run them from the minibuffer instead of
  the shell.
