I have some CVS directory with some files checked into git (but not all). When I use C-x v l to get a log file from a file only present in git, and then type RET on some log entry, vc bombs out because it wants to see the file being in CVS. Those logs should likely use a local variable to hardware the VC they are supposed to work with. I have had other problems with files not registered under CVS (but in a CVS-controlled directory) but under git but don't remember the details right now. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
