I used VC.  The file was listed in *vc-dir*, but it has been for ages
and was never a problem before.  But this time after I committed the
change the status of that file also changed to "up-to-date", which
suprised me but, unfortunately, didn't stop me from pressing `P' to push
the commit (since, again, that file had "always" been there but never
got into a previous commit).  I know I should have stopped to think, and
hopefully I will in future, but I wonder how that file became part of
the commit in the first place (again, I never knowingly touched it).
