Subject: 30.1; Unable to create new Git repository in Dired mode
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 03:37:40 +0800

Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:
1. 'C-x d' to arbitrary directory without any version control repository.
2. Mark arbitrary number of files with 'm'.
3. Type 'C-x v v'.

Then the mini buffer will display:

No VC backend is responsible for c:/my/directory/

According to GNU Emacs manual 30.1.3.1, 'C-x v v' is expected to create
a new repository in the directory. However, 'C-x v v' can still be able to create
new repository in the buffer of  a file(Not in the buffer of directory).
