Everything which I had done that time is pushed to the repo.

Will do.

In this case it is important, because the behaviour of the functions
differ sometimes from what is documented, and I'm uncertain whom to
believe when asserting the test results. For the time being I have
accepted most of the results (modulo some few obvious errors, which I
did fix in vc-*.el), but maybe the checks are too weak, and there are
still some problems in vc-*.el, which are uncovered by this strategy of
vc-tests.el.
