Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: - C-x v d to open a dired buffer for a directory containing changed files (CVS-controlled in my case) - v = -> works fine, shows diff - v v -> errors out with (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) The error seems to be that vc-parent-buffer is nil, which makes sense since vc-start-entry uses get-file-buffer to set it, and when in dired mode there is no live buffer for the file yet.
