Documentation

List of version control backends for which VC will be used.

Entries in this list will be tried in order to determine whether a file is under that sort of version control. Removing an entry from the list prevents VC from being activated when visiting a file managed by that backend. An empty list disables VC altogether.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 25.1.
