bug#58525: 28.1: `vc-dir' (key sequence: C-x v d) fails when used with a CVS repository |

When attempting to retrieve a VC status for a directory or file
when the VC backend is CVS, the `vc-dir' command fails with an
error message.
Steps to recreate the problem, using `emacs -Q':
# 1. Create a new CVS repository from a bash shell prompt:
$ cd # Start in home directory.
$ mkdir tmp1
$ cvs -d ~/tmp1 init # Create a new CVS repository in ~/tmp1.
$ CVSROOT=~/tmp1; export CVSROOT
# 2. Create a new project to add to the CVS repository:
$ mkdir tmp2
$ mkdir tmp2/project1
$ cd tmp2/project1
$ touch foo.txt README.txt # Create some empty files.
$ cd .. # Return to tmp2 directory.
# 3. Add project as a module named "project1" to the CVS repository:
$ cvs import -m "Initial versions." . project1 start
N ./foo.txt
N ./README.txt
No conflicts created by this import
# 4. Retrieve the CVS module "project1":
$ cd .. # Return to home directory.
$ ls tmp1 tmp2 # Check directories' contents.
tmp1:
CVSROOT/ project1/
tmp2:
project1/
# 5. Retrieve the new module from the CVS repository:
$ mkdir tmp3
$ cd tmp3
$ cvs checkout project1 project1
U project1/README.txt
U project1/foo.txt
$ ls
project1/
$ ls project1
CVS/ foo.txt README.txt
# 6. Start emacs in directory ~/tmp3/project1:
$ cd project1
$ emacs -Q
7. In Emacs, type `C-x d' (the function `dired') to list the
contents of the initial directory, ~/tmp3/project1. This list
will include the subdirectory `CVS' and the two files
`foo.txt' and `README.txt'.
8. Type `C-x v d' (the function `vc-dir') to list the VC status
for the files in the directory. The following error message
will be written to the *Messages* buffer:
vc-responsible-backend: Wrong type argument: sequencep, t
Mark set
9. Type `C-u C-x v d' (that is, add a prefix argument to `C-x v
d'). The following prompt will be displayed:
VC status for directory: ~/tmp3/project1
At the prompt, accept the command by pressing the <RET> key. The
second prompt will then be displayed:
Use VC backend:
At this prompt, type `CVS' and press <RET> (Note that the capital
letters C V S are required). The command completes successfully
and a *vc-dir* buffer is displayed with the VC backend correctly
identified as CVS.
So, the code for `vc-dir' (or, key sequence C-x v d) contains an
error in which it cannot correctly identify the VC backend if it
is not provided, when the VC backend is CVS.
(End of report.)
