In my backtrace, I have seen --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- vc-do-command("*vc*" 0 "ci" "/ssh:gandalf:/tmp/aaa/aaa" nil "-u" "-t-") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It should use the local part of the file name only. Furthermore, there is a call to `call-process' in vc-rcs.el. And likely, more places to adapt. Best regards, Michael.
