[Geany-Users] GeanyVC greyed out (Git works fine outside Geany)

[James Brierley]

I’m guessing now, but maybe try removing ~/.config/geany/plugins/VC and 
starting afresh? A lot of mysterious problems can be traced to junk 
config or cache files in your home directory.

Not sure what else to suggest.
