Oops, thanks.

Sorry 'bout the typo introduce when copy&pasting between the tested code and
the installed code.  But note that I'm surprised to see this code on
the release branch.  I never intended for it to go there, never committed
there AFAIK and when Richard asked me to install it on the release branch
I explicitly said I was not confortable doing it.

Looking at the CVS log I see:

   revision 1.182.2.2
   date: 2007-05-17 03:38:11 -0400;  author: gm;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -1;  
commitid: wzJ1cmOAuE56Mfis;
   Sync change from trunk at request of rms in FOR-RELEASE:
   
   Stefan Monnier  <monnier at iro.umontreal.ca>
   
   (vc-find-root): Stop searching when the user changes.

So it looks like it was Richard's decision.
