thank you very much for your explanation. I simplified my setup as you
suggested.

That being said, `project-files' for 'vc' seems not to work for
me. Inside my client/ folder, (project-current) returns

  (vc nil "…/client/")

The `project-files' method has this line:

    (if (and (file-equal-p dir (cdr project))

Because `dir' is a string and (cdr project) is the list (nil
"…/client/), `file-equal-p' always returns nil. If I change `cdr' to be
`caddr', things seem to work perfectly.

Am I doing something wrong again or is it a bug and I should submit a
patch?

Best
