Yes, it's called vc-stay-local.  Set it to nil and VC contacts the
repository for operations such as vc-directory.  This tends to be rather
slow, so setting that variable to t is usually preferred.  If the state
of the file in the repository is different than what the local
heuristics suggest, you'll be notified of that at checkin time anyway.

See the doc string of vc-stay-local; you can set it up so that it stays
local only for certain repositories.  You can also set it
backend-specific by using vc-BACKEND-stay-local.
