Thanks for the patch! Good catch, I wasn't aware of this problem.

Looks good, I'm just wondering if we could maybe do it in a slightly simpler way, without the new function: Maybe one could move the code starting with "// Version control systems..." out of the foreach-loop, then replace "while (upUrl != dirUrl)" by "if (upUrl != dirUrl)" and have the function call itself recursively if that is the case?

So when you enable the dolphin-box-plugin, basically no other KVersionControlPlugin will be able to work. It will go up to your home and think everything inside it is tracked by Dropbox.
