(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)
So, in that URL Stefan suggested using with-demoted-errors instead of
ignore-errors here, and that seems sensible. But I'm wondering whether
this code is expected to fail, and whether the errors (in that case) are
totally uninteresting?
I've done some testing (without the `ignore-errors'), and in my tests
the code doesn't fail, so I think the patch suggested makes sense.
Does this patch makes sense to everybody else, too?
(defun vc-git-registered (file)

(let ((dir (vc-git-root file)))
(when dir
