Same here and, for me, dired-subdir-alist is nil. This variable comes
from dired.el and the error message must be coming from the function
also defined therein, dired-current-directory
I get it now. dired-current-directory is supposed to look at your
vc-dired buffer and determine if the file you are checking in is
in the current default-directory or in a subdirectory thereof.
However, it can't seem to figure out the way subdirectories are
encoded in the buffer. So, it barfs. But, if you have it return
something sensible, like default-directory, then it prompts you for
a log and checks in the marked file. I haven't tried multiple
files yet. No idea how to fix it completely.
