Emacs does open the file; what you see is not an error, it's a
message. The code which tries to invoke Git runs with-demoted-errors,
so any error is converted to a simple message. If you try this
variant of your command:
$ emacs --batch --eval "(progn (setf vc-git-program \"git-is-not-installed\")
(message \"%s\" (find-file-noselect \"README\")))"
you will see:
Error: (file-missing "Searching for program" "No such file or directory"
"git-is-not-installed")
README
That "README" at the end means that find-file-noselect did read the
file into its buffer, and the error message is just a message.
So if this somehow prevented you from doing something, please tell
more, or maybe the recipe needs more steps?
