The names from the log are the directories that various version control systems use to store their metadata in a working copy (i.e tree of version controlled files). If you use vc-mode then Emacs finds the root of your working copy by searching up the directory heirarchy until it finds one of these directories. At that point it knows which version control system is in use. Read the Version Control section of the emacs manual for details. That suggests doing "(setq vc-handled-backends nil)" to completely disable VC. Please file a bug report (M-x report-emacs-bug) with full details of the emacs version, file paths and log entries to help the developers tune the search for VC directories. HTH, AndyM
