How do I visit a file on a different branch?

I'm aware of C-x v ~ which allows you to see a different revision of the current file, but I would like to visit the file on another branch. Is this possible with magit, VC or git-timemachine?

How to change options passed to git vc-annotate?

I have a hard time using vc-annotate (my version control system is git), because the output is not very userfriendly, as it displays long filenames in a separate column in the buffer, which take up half of my screen. Apart from that it takes ages…

How to query the name of the current branch in an elisp function?

I'd like to know the current branch I'm in (in elisp), is there a generic function that returns the name of the current branch? From looking into vc-mode mode-line logic it seems this relies on private functionality. Is there a generic way to access…

I use ibuffer-vc, a replacement for list-buffer that displays the VC status of the listed files. I noted that the VC status stays as "edited" even after I push my changes. That is, the VC status does not differentiate between the following two…

Version control: how to inhibit opening email buffer upon breaking lock

My work uses GNU RCS for our version control system, but I don't think the specific VCS is relevant here. (I know RCS isn't the most modern system but it suits our needs fine and has the advantage of relative simplicity. Anyway, that's not the…
