A suggestion: the code in vc-next-action before ;; Do the right thing could be moved to vc-deduce-fileset That will eliminate the need for the INCLUDE-FILES-NOT-DIRECTORIES param. And vc-deduce-fileset could return not only the backend and file list like now, it could also return the state and model.
