Visiting the same file again and C-x v L (vc-print-root-log) Shows the same message in the log buffer and it seems less helpful because now I see the log for the root of the repo. Is this a bug or am I just misunderstanding something? I am trying to get comfortable with VC namely. Not a show-stopper, but it doesn't help me understand its behaviour.
