Hi,

> When detecting vc backend, vc-find-file-hook passes buffer-file-truename
> to vc-backend function. However, because buffer-file-truename is *abbreviated*,
> following vc-hg-registered or vc-git-registered just fails.

The following snippet is workaround for the problem:

--
(defadvice vc-backend (before vc-backend-fix-abbrev-name activate)
  "Fixes vc-backend to expand abbreviated buffer-file-truename"
  (if (stringp (ad-get-arg 0))
      (ad-set-arg 0 (expand-file-name (ad-get-arg 0)))))
--

Yuya.
