After advising him to set that to nil, it did not appear to do anything. Apparently he needs to set vc-cvs-stay-local instead, but there is no mention of that in the doc string for vc-stay-local, in fact both doc strings are exactly the same. After starting emacs -Q, vc-stay-local is listed as a completion for C-h v vc- but vc-cvs-stay-local is not. Do we need both these variables? If so, the way they interact with each other is not at all clear, so the doc strings need some work.
