Please don't do it. There is no logical reason why it is wrong for batch-mode Emacs to do VC operations, so I think that is an attempt to work around a problem. We should first try to solve it the right way. Also, even when building Emacs (as of a week ago, at least), VC prints several spurious messages on the console; they are harmless in this case, but nonetheless provide needless clutter. What causes these messages?
