`save-window-excursion' works better for situations where there's a
recursive edit, but commands like the vc checkin &c don't use a
recursive edit (and they shouldn't), and so can't use that.
I've seen variuos discussions about ways to make `temporarily'
popped-up windows less damaging (e.g., Stefan posted some ideas a short
while back), but nothing that really seems to solve the problem.
I think Joachim's idea -- to pop up windows by splitting the current
window, so that deleting it restores the old state -- is interesting,
at least for those users that tend to use complicated window
structures in a frame.
