Me too, alas.  But this thread has produced some useful knowledge:

1) The proposed improvement is welcome (i.e., no one considers the current way of doing things to be optimal).

2) Remember to correctly handle directories that are under the control of more than one VCS (I do that trick sometimes myself, so I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it in my original followup; thanks to Richard Copley for pointing it out).
