vc-cvs-global-switches and -f

[Juanma Barranquero]

I was running "emacs.exe -Q" today and was puzzled to see that the
output of `vc-diff' talked about "conflicting specifications of output
style", until I remembered that I have an entry on ~/.cvsrc which
says: "diff -u2", and the default style for VC is "-c".

So the question is: why does Emacs by default assume that it is safe
to use .cvsrc? It seems  to me that having "-f" as default for
`vc-cvs-global-switches' would be more logical, specially because in a
situation like mine above, having it set on my .emacs wouldn't have
helped.
