The code in question has changed substantially since this patch was
proposed six years ago.  It's now:

(defun dired-vc-deduce-fileset (&optional state-model-only-files not-state-changing)
  (let ((backend (vc-responsible-backend default-directory))
        (files (dired-get-marked-files nil nil nil nil t))
        only-files-list
        state
        model)

If I'm reading it correctly, it...  more or less covers the same things
that this patch was supposed to do (but in a totally different way?), so
I guess this patch is no longer necessary.

So I'm closing this bug report.  If there still is something here that
needs fixing, please respond to the debbugs address, and we'll reopen.
