Now I find a file foo.txt in that directory, insert some contents and
save it with C-x C-s.

Then I do `M-x vc-register'. It asks me if I want to create a RCS
subdirectory, I say no and those are the contents of *Messages*.

I tried the procedure with `emacs -nw -Q' and got the same behavior. My
svn client version is 1.4.4, the server has version 1.4.0, if that
matters.

Bye,
