For modern SCMs it makes sense also to hook the modeline info in dired buffer (and eshell buffer etc.). For example, if I eval the elisp code below in a dired visiting a git repo: (vc-mode-line default-directory (ignore-errors (vc-responsible-backend default-directory))) the char between backend and branch is always : It'd be nice if you could also improve this.
