Subject: bug#65763: Error opening a file from a Git working directory if Git is not installed
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2023 20:54:54 +0200 [thread overview]

To reproduce:
1. Change current directory to a Git checkout (e.g. `~/git/emacs' or
something).
2. From the command line:
$ emacs --batch --eval "(progn (setf vc-git-program
\"git-is-not-installed\") (find-file-noselect \"whatever\"))"
Error: (file-missing "Searching for program" "No such file or
directory" "git-is-not-installed")
Expected: Emacs is able to open the file, Git must not be essential.
Usecase: on the real machine Git _is_ of course installed, but then you run
Emacs inside a Docker container that has _no_ Git, with a directory mapped
from your physical machine. In this setup there is appearance of a Git
working directory, yet Git executable is not available.
Appears to work fine up to Emacs 27, broken starting with Emacs 28.
