I routinely use "gnulib-tool --create-testdir --with-tests" as a tarball
for testing on all kinds of platforms. It contains all available modules
(except the very few ones which are known to conflict with other modules).

Therefore, in general, every test should succeed, also in the presence of
all other modules.

What are the known situations in which the vc-list-files tests will fail?
