That's what I thought. But in that case, what's the meaning of this paragraph in files.texi? It seems to be saying that `C-x v v' automatically DTRT outside of VC dir mode by including the file in a changeset. If you are accustomed to earlier versions of VC, the change in behavior you will notice is in the directory mode. Other than @kbd{C-x v v}, most VC-mode commands once operated on only one file selected by the line the cursor is on. The change in the behavior of @kbd{C-x v v} outside VC Directory Mode is more subtle. Formerly it operated in parallel on all marked files, but did not pass them to the version-control backends as a group. Now it does, which enables VC to drive changeset-based version-control systems.
