Subject: 25.0.50; `vc-dir' is (even more) broken in Subversion for directories
 with many files
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 12:53:57 +0000

After fixing bug #19405 by applying the patch given in that bug
report, the `vc-dir' command works under Subversion, but only for
small directories.
For directories with a large number of files, the message “Spawning
child process: exec format error” is displayed and the vc-dir buffer
displays the “[waiting…]” text indefinitely.

This seems to be the same as bug 19387. Should also be fixed now.
