Adding text for such a minor feature as using Dired for VC commands to the top node "Version Control" makes it too long. Even a major feature of using VC Directory Mode is described much later in the manual. So better would be to explain Dired support somewhere near the node "VC Directory Mode". > Btw, shouldn't we show the VC information in the mode line of a Dired > buffer that displays a directory under VCS? Since all VC commands now > work in such a buffer, this is very similar to showing a file under > VCS, so the omission doesn't sound right to me. I never noticed this omission, but adding the same mode-line string as in regular file buffers makes sense.
