The above scenario to me has the following problem: when you say "go to
a top-level project directory", this can mean to do it by opening some
arbitrary file in that top-level dir or by opening the dir with dired or
with vc-dired.
Of those 3 cases, I think the first case should not be supported. C-v x =
from a file buffer should only apply to that file. The third should of
course be supported and the one I expect people to use.
The second doesn't matter: if it works, it's harmless and if it doesn't it's
not serious either because the user could have used vc-dired instead.
But it should only work if the corresponding dir is under some kind of
version control, of course.
I agree completely.
