Thanks Anselm & Tassilo
The specific info from Anselm -- checkout vc-git.el -- helped me track
the culprit. I had been trying it earlier; it neither worked and also
evidently broke the working vc. When I renamed it out of the way the
problem (seems) to have gone.
But Tassilo's method is the way of tracking down such problems in the
first place so thanks.
