I'd like to submit some additional information. I seem similar (but
not identical behavior) when git is used as the vc backend.
I am using emacs version
GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.15) of
2016-07-29
I've attached a small shell script to assist in reproducing the
behavior. The script creates a git repository and commits two files
./my-repo/file1.txt and ./my-repo/file2.txt. The script also creates
(an unregistered) file ./my-repo/new-file.txt.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
sh mk-repository.sh
emacs -Q
C-x f my-repo/subdir RET
C-x v d
At this point emacs prompts "VC status for directory: ~/my-repo",
although the buffer's working directory was "~/my-repo/subdir".
I press RET at the "VC status for directory: ~/my-repo". Here's what
I see
---------------------------------
VC backend : Git
Working dir: ~/my-repo/
Branch : master
Remote :
Stash : Nothing stashed
./
unregistered new-file.txt
---------------------------------
When performing these steps with emacs-24.5:
- After pressing C-x v d, emacs prompts
"VC status for directory: ~/my-repo/subdir/"
- I press RET and see
---------------------------------
VC backend : Git
Working dir: ~/my-repo/subdir/
Branch : master
Remote :
Stash : Nothing stashed
./
---------------------------------
I agree with the reporter: the VC status is being reported from the
top-level of the repository, as opposed to the buffer's working
directory.
emacs-25.0.90 behaves the same way as emacs 25.1-rc1
Unlike the CVS report, '=' (in vc-dir) behaves as I would expect: it
shows me a diff of the file at point.
