Thank you!  Bruno Haible fixed the first one just a few hours ago.
I'm including a patch below that fixes the other.

Hmm... there's currently no automatic way to enable debugging
for those scripts, so if you don't mind investigating,
just insert "set -x" statements into each and rerun.
I.e., run these commands, then post the contents of the "log" file:

  perl -ni -e '/^tmpdir/ and print "set -x\n"; print' \
    gnulib-tests/test-vc-list-files-*.sh
  make check -C gnulib-tests \
    TESTS='test-vc-list-files-git.sh test-vc-list-files-cvs.sh' > log 1>&2

Here's the patch:
