I believe you have misunderstood the request, then: "support the multi-VCS
case" means exactly what Dan asks, which is "make sure only one backend
is used for a given command, even if the command includes files that are
under various backends".

I.e. the issue is not "several subdirs of *vc-dir* which each use
a different backend", but "all the files under *vc-dir* are under the
control of several backends at the same time".
