[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I could not successfully override locate-domination-stop-dir-regexp via .emacs because vc-find-root restores the default value.

STR:
override locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp in .emacs with:
         (setq locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp "\\`\\(?:/uufs/chpc.utah.edu/common/home/[^\\/]+/\\|~/\\)\\'")

edebug-defun locate-dominating-file
stop at string-match, note value of locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp
continue to next call to string-match (for a different dominating file)
re-check value of locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp

You will find that for calls from vc-find-root the value of
locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp will be the default (from files.el) as
opposed to the value in the .emacs setq

I maintain that locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp might be better served
as an extensible list though others believe concatenating regexp after
regexp is the way to go.
