Thanks.  I've simply removed it, since the default error message works
just as well (and better than `wrong arg number' in any case).

Package: emacs,vc
Severity: minor

The function vc-default-revision-granularity should accept a backend
argument, but doesn't.  This gives users of outdated third-party VC
backends confusing error messages at times.

To reproduce:
(progn
  (provide 'vc-foo)
  (vc-call-backend 'foo 'revision-granularity))

Expected: (error "Your backend will not work with this version of VC mode.")
Actual result: wrong-number-of-arguments

Regards,
Magnus
