In a *vc-dir* buffer:
1. Mark a buffer with 2 or more changed files.
2. Invoke vc-revert.
3. See prompt "Discard changes in 1 file? (yes or no) ".
4. Confirm with "yes".
5. Get the following messages, the last of which signals an error.
    Finding changes in /devel/dougl/...
    Reverting /devel/dougl/ttwork/es/...
    Checking out /devel/dougl/ttwork/es/...
    vc-default-revert: Non-regular file: cannot write to a directory., /devel/dougl/...

Apologetic statements:
a. This is hardly fatal and
   could be regarded as expected behavior.
   (It is a little surprising though.)
b. I'm sorry I can't submit a patch with this immediately,
   but I don't understand the vc/vc-backend structure yet.
