Reading the docstring, my guess would be: vc-find-root walks the dir
tree up _until_ it finds WITNESS (as an evidence for the VC tree's root
dir). Unless we have CVS or SVN or similar, where every subdir has
WITNESS, so the root would be the last up-tree directory having WITNESS.

But I might be off-by-one ;-)
