I tried doing vc-dir without having entered my passphrase to enable
subjobs of Emacs to contact savannah. So CVS would have failed.
But vc-dir gave no sign of this. It created the buffer in the initial
state, and never said or did anything more.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately didn't get any
response at the time.)
I'm not sure I understand this bug report. Was Emacs supposed to prompt
for a password here? (I think I've repressed how CVS worked with
remote, password-protected repositories...)

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report. If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.

Do you have a recipe for reproducing this, though?
I tried a session without an ssh agent, and I issued the `vc-update'
command, and I got an error buffer with the following data:
---
Running "git pull --stat"...
Permission denied, please try again.^M
Received disconnect from 209.51.188.201 port 22:2: Too many authentication fail\
ures for larsi^M
Disconnected from 209.51.188.201 port 22^M
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I am sorry my scenario was not clear.
Normally, VC commands fail when I have not previously specified my ssh
passphrase so CVS can contact savannah. Emacs does not know how
to promptfor the passphrase on their behalf.
So normally I specify the passphrase in advance with ssh-add.
That time I forgot to run ssh-add, so the basic vc commands should
have failed.
But vc-dir didn't report a failure. Instead it created the buffer
with no failure report, and then the buffer was nonresponsive to
commands.
The bug is that vc-dir did not fail when it should have failed.

Nothing precise. I will try o come up with one.
> I tried a session without an ssh agent,
The reason I use ssh-add is precisely because I always use ssh-agent.
I think ssh-agent is required to make the VC commands work for remote
CVS repos.
