unsupported vc-0.05 causes trouble when git program is not installed

[Adrian Aichner]

Hello Ville, All!

Today I built myself vc-0.05 from 
packages\unsupported\scop\vc\

Visiting RCS- or CVS-controlled files is not possible from dired,
because I don't have the git program installed.

Initially I visited a remote RCS-controlled file from my bookmarks
buffer, which worked fine.

When I tried
M-x erevision 
on that file, the problem started to unravel.

I was able to use this version of vc, once I put this into my
proverbial .emacs file:

; (setq vc-handled-backends '(RCS CVS SVN SCCS Arch MCVS GIT))
;; Without git program installed vc-0.05 causes major trouble on TANG
;; on 2006-08-13.
(setq vc-handled-backends '(RCS CVS SVN SCCS Arch MCVS))

Ville, this should be easy to reproduce by temporarily renaming the
git program so it won't be found.

Best regards!

Adrian
