toggle-read-only / vc stupidity

[Miles Bader]

toggle-read-only sometimes gives a message like:

   File is under version-control; use C-x v v to check in/out

1) Such a message may make sense with RCS, but it's just confusing
   with any modern source-control system (even CVS!).  [I'm using arch]

2) I only seem to get the message for files that _aren't_ under
   version-control (but are in a version-controlled directory)!

   [I suppose maybe what's happening is that it's backend-specific for
   registered files, but uses some generic code for non-registered
   files??]
