Small fix: THEN and ELSE blocks of the '(if dir...' should be swapped.

Does those kind of changes should be applied to any function that uses
'vc-call' and can be called on dirs?

Is there any reason to use 'vc-backend' at all?
'vc-responsible-backend' will call 'vc-backend' on a file that is not a
directory.

Looks like it make sense for CVS backend.  Take a look at
'vc-cvs-stay-local-p'.

In this case `vc-call` must use that function, right?

How is that?  'vc-registered' is still returns nil for directories.  The
changes affects only the side effect of it.
