   That's ugly. Simply recommending that users set vc-handled-backends in
   their .emacs is easier and cleaner, I still don't see why you want to
   change it.

I'd rather want to just require or load vc-git (and that should
not be the way to go too since it should be automatically handled
by vc.el when vc-git will become part of GNU Emacs ).

By the way, do you plan to ask for inclusion into emacs ?

That's just a matter of taste, nothing more.
