[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

While using vc-mode, the dir-locals.el variables under 'nil' mode are
accumulated on file-local-variables-alist and they still apply after
exiting the scope of the file.  The attached script can be used to
reproduce it (Emacs 27.1, on GNU Guix
f6e031ab36fd99ad3536caabfdaefcc2b5f606a1).

It generates a temporary folder with two example git repositories, an
offending dir-locals.el[1], launches an emacs with -Q and the shows
the steps to follow:

1. Open p1/file and accept the .dir-locals.el variables.
2. Call vc-print-log
3. Check the file-local-variables-alist
4. Open p2/file (this one doesn't have .dir-locals.el).
5. Call vc-print-log again, the message is shown again.

Best regards,
Miguel

[1] It contains: ((nil . ((eval (message "Eval called")))))

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I tried to reproduce this with both Emacs 27.1 and Emacs 29, and I was
unable to -- in step 5), there's no message, and p2/file does not have
anything in file-local-variables-alist.

Are you still seeing this problem in recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.

I tried the reproducer again on my side, and I can reproduce the issue
(that the file-local-variables-alist is leaked from p1/file to p2/file).

I'm thus reopening the ticket.

I used the current 'emacs' package from Guix to test, which is at
version 28.1.

Thanks!

Maxim

Thanks -- it looks like you just unarchived the bug report, not reopened
it, so I've now done the latter.  (The debbugs interface is pretty
confusing.)
