OK. I has bugged me long enough though that I finally sat down to work out a fix.

It does work in vc-dir for edited files. vc-dir is not really an equivalent use case though since it does not allow to show a full listing of (up-to-date) files and hence to see their logs. Or am I missing something?

24.4 is still some way off. BTW, it does not work correctly in 23.4 or
24.1, so it does not seem that urgent to me. It works fine from a vc-dir
buffer, just not a dired buffer.
