Hi,
I apologise for being dense here, but I have another problem, in that
the git part of the standard version control package doesn't seem to
be working on the remote files.
I am using Aquamacs v 1.7 on a Mac -- Emacs 22.3.1 -- and Tramp v 2.1.15.

 I have the binaries for git on the remote machine installed in an
unusual place,
so I have added
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/noc/users/agn/ext/AMD64/bin")
to my Preferences.el

doing C-h v tramp-remote-path gives
tramp-remote-path is a variable defined in `tramp.el'.
Its value is
("/noc/users/agn/ext/AMD64/bin" tramp-default-remote-path "/usr/sbin"
"/usr/local/bin" "/local/bin" "/local/freeware/bin" "/local/gnu/bin"
"/usr/freeware/bin" "/usr/pkg/bin" "/usr/contrib/bin")


When I bring up a file on the remote machine with e.g.
/ssh:nozzle:/noc/altix/working/agn/NEMO/GRIFFIES/traldf_iso_grif.F90

it's fine, and I get the message
Loading vc-git...done

However, when I try to use the VC tools menu on the file I get (incorrectly)
File /ssh:nozzle:/noc/altix/working/agn/NEMO/GRIFFIES/traldf_iso_grif.F90
is not under version control

I guess I must have misunderstood something here.

--George Nurser.
