After git bisecting, this recent commit seems to be to blame for the
the recent breakage of vc-region-history.  Select any bit of a file and
try M-x vc-region-history:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep 47)

This silly patch seems to fix it, tho I don't know what a pathspec even
is, and you may know what's on.

   diff --git a/lisp/vc/vc-git.el b/lisp/vc/vc-git.el

Please fix this: vc-region-history is one of my favourite commands.
