bug#29956: 26.0.90; `d' in *VC-history*: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 47

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: Emacs
Version: 26.0.90


    % src/emacs -Q lisp/emacs-lisp/pcase.el
    ...Select the first (def-edebug-spec ...)
    C-x v h
    In the *VC-history* buffer, hit `d'

This gives me `Wrong type argument: sequencep, 47'
[ Which file you use, and which region of the file you select doesn't
  really matter.  ]

The patch below fixes it for me.

Is it OK to install it into emacs-26, or should I keep it on `master`?

FWIW, it's not a new bug in Emacs-26 and it's not terribly urgent to fix
it, e.g. because you can use `D' which does work (tho it doesn't do
quite the same), so I'm fine with either choice.
