From: Reuben Thomas <rrt <at> sc3d.org> To: 8603 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#8603: 23.3.50; vc-dir can easily guess wrong VCS Date: Mon, 02 May 2011 13:13:58 +0100
If I run vc-dir on a directory /foo/bar/baz, where /foo/.bzr and /foo/bar/.git exist, then Emacs guesses wrongly that /foo/bar/baz is under Bzr. It seems that first, the directory is not registered with a backend (which may be on purpose, since git does not actually register directories?), but then secondly that /foo is checked before /foo/bar when deciding which backend to use. Further, deleting the .bzr directory (which was indeed bogus; it’s obviously relatively rare to have a tree under one VCS inside a tree under another, with the exception of foreign modules, possibly?) did not help: I had to restart Emacs to get it to forget the .bzr directory.
