Quoting the "Backup Files" node of the emacs manual:
For files managed by a version control system (*note Version
Control::), the variable `vc-make-backup-files' determines whether to
make backup files. By default it is `nil', since backup files are
redundant when you store all the previous versions in a version
control system. *Note General VC Options::.
