The vc package calls the vc-git-registered function to check, is the file is registered in git. You can find this function in the vc-git.el module. The module itself is loaded first when you access a file in the directory that belongs to Git by using the code (vc-find-root file ".git") that is specified in the autoload section of the vc-git
