Aha, I remember this bug.
The problem, I think, is that selecting files is so important in vc-dir
that there should be an easy way to do it with the mouse. However, it's
true that mouse-2 ought to visit files. The proper approach is probably
to tweak the vc-directory interace slightly, adding a check-box on each
line that toggles whenever you click on it.
