No, it is a bug in me; I read over section (info "(emacs)Registering") but missed this the first time: "On the other hand, if there are no files already registered, Emacs uses the first system from `vc-handled-backends' that could register the file (for example, you cannot register a file under CVS if its directory is not already part of a CVS tree);...." It looks like, from lisp/ChangeLog.13 the handler function was removed. 2007-07-20 Stefan Monnier ... * vc-mcvs.el (vc-mcvs-create-repo): * vc-cvs.el (vc-cvs-create-repo): Remove. >From a quick perusal of the devel list archives, I am not sure why it was removed. But if you don't think this is as it should be I can post that there. (I sort of assumed that if it were really bug I someone else would have noticed in 3 years.)
