always uses the file permissions (if it is supposed to trust them), or
else checks the master file.
-@vindex vc-mistrust-permissions
- You can specify the criterion for whether to trust the file
-permissions by setting the variable @code{vc-mistrust-permissions}.
-Its value can be @code{t} (always mistrust the file permissions and
-check the master file), @code{nil} (always trust the file
-permissions), or a function of one argument which makes the decision.
-The argument is the directory name of the @file{RCS} subdirectory. A
-non-@code{nil} value from the function says to mistrust the file
-permissions. If you find that the file permissions of work files are
-changed erroneously, set @code{vc-mistrust-permissions} to @code{t}.
-Then VC always checks the master file to determine the file's status.
-
VC determines the version control state of files under SCCS much as
with RCS@. It does not consider SCCS version headers, though. Thus,
-the variable @code{vc-mistrust-permissions} affects SCCS use, but
-@code{vc-consult-headers} does not.
+the variable @code{vc-consult-headers} does not affect SCCS use.
