I was working on a file and it created backups as usual. However I noticed that when i decided to put it under git countrol and created a git directory, then emacs stops to create a backup file~ ever since then.
So to test, i created a new directory and edited a file in it and it creates a backup in the directory.
Then I deleted the file~ then I did
git int
in the directory and then did
git add file
then i edited the file and now it does not create then file~.
Why not and what code controls this to shut it off?

Look at `vc-make-backup-files' variable.
