Actually, it should inherit instead:

   (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
     (set-keymap-parent map vc-dir-mode-map)

Better yet: use the `keymap' property rather than the `local-map'
property, so the keymap can just contains the `mouse-2' binding without
having to explicitly copy and/or inherit from the local map.

Yes, it's a change we want to have installed.

Just send your patches here for approval.
