For no reason other than the resulting command could be useful in more
situations than just this one.

It would open the file (or directory) than is the true name of the
currently visited file (or directory), and kill the previous buffer.
vc-responsible-backend would be called with the true name automatically.
This is close to what vc-follow-link does already.
But if that's definitely not what you want, how about a command like this?
(defun vc-refresh-as-link-target ()
(interactive)
(let ((buffer-file-name (file-truename buffer-file-name)))
(vc-refresh-state)))
By the way, please remind us why vc-follow-symlinks (the variable) with
the default value `ask' is not sufficient for you?

The docstring of what? Please be more precise, the less I have to think
about or make choices regarding documentation, the happier I am.

Care to send the proposed addition in the form of a patch?
