The only vc-git.el I've found on my machine is the one shipped with
Emacs 23.1.50 (it's coming from the emacs-snapshot Debian package, the
maintainer is Cc-ed).

With "emacs -Q" it works properly.

As my main customization is using viper mode, I've also tried enabling
it just after "emacs -Q" and bingo, it stops working. Looks like the bug
is Viper-related :-(

Cheers.
