Problem with vc-mcvs-registered

[David PONCE]

Hi,

Using latest CVS version of Emacs, I got the following error from the
autoloaded version of `vc-mcvs-registered', when it is passed a file
name of the form "~/something":

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  directory-file-name(nil)
  (if (file-directory-p (expand-file-name "MCVS/CVS" dir)) t 
(directory-file-name dir))
  (setq dir (if (file-directory-p ...) t (directory-file-name dir)))
  (while (and (stringp dir) (not ...)) (setq dir (if ... t ...)))
  (let ((dir file)) (while (and ... ...) (setq dir ...)) (if (eq dir t) (progn 
... ...)))
  vc-mcvs-registered("~/emacs/emacsrc.el")

I applied the following patch to vc-mcvs.el and updated loaddefs.el,
and that seems to have fixed the problem:

Hope this helps.
