[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
* I started Emacs in a git working tree, whose checked-out branch was
named "master":
$ cd /usr/local/src/emacs-via-git/src
$ git branch
* master
$ ./emacs -Q -nw
* I ran vc-dir by typing C-x v d, and noticed that the output was
correct: in particular, it said "Branch : master"
* I created, and switched to, a new branch, by typing
M-! git checkout -b fred RET
* I "refreshed" the *vc-dir* buffer by typing g ("revert-buffer"). I
noticed that it _still_ said "Branch : master". This is the bug; I
expected to see "Branch : fred".
* I killed the *vc-dir* buffer with C-x k RET, then recreated it with
C-x v d. This time, I saw "Branch : fred", as I expected.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs-via-git/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
