The buffer shows a list of commits, one per each line, pressing enter of a commit expands it, and shows the metadata of the commit. Saying it shows the diff was wrong. Also, I found out now how to close it: just press RET again. To display the diff, vc-dir, uses the same command as magit, ie. 'd' (which opens the diff in a different buffer that can be exited with 'q', which is the same behaviour as magit). > PS: Your comparison is much less critical of vc-dir than I'd have > expected.

I just did a drive-by evaluation by starting it on a repository, and just trying magit commands blindly. (Also, I tried to be nice...) The most immediately annoying feature of vc-dir, was that it didn't group the files into unstaged and staged, because that's a very important distinction when manually resolving merge conflicts.
