  (1) cd to a source directory that uses git for source management

  (2) start emacs:  emacs -Q  -nw

  (3) modify any source file in that dir, e.g., add a new line "Hello"
to a README or something

  (4) Start vc-dir:  M-x vc-dir RET RET

  (5) In the *vc-dir* buffer, you'll see the file you modified listed;
the cursor should be initially positioned on the first line of the
buffer, i.e., not on any source file.

  (6) Without moving the cursor, try to commit:  v

  (7) Enter a log message and submit:   Oink OINK RET

  (8) You should get the error I mentioned

   M-: (vc-deduce-fileset) RET
     => (Git ("/home/miles/src/snogray/snogray/") nil nil nil)

The directory name there is the top-level source directory.

Thanks,
