Read-only warning message

[sdn . gnuem]

Hello emacs folks,



    This is not a desperate call for urgent help or anything -- this is just 
something that has bugged me for some time.



    When you make a buffer read-only (via C-x C-q toggle-read-only), and the 
file in the buffer is under version control, you get a warning message: "File 
is under version-control; use C-x v v to check in/out".



    Anyone have any idea why?  What earthly relevance could the file's being 
under version-control have to my toggling the buffer's read-only state?



Thanks,

-- Sue D. Nymme
