Subject: bug#1067: 23.0.60; vc-dir (git): doesn't update "branch" line
Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:54:13 -0700

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.
