Two changes:

1) All version controlled buffers have after-save-hook set up to call vc-dir-resynch-file. So if we're just bringing up a buried vc-dir buffer, we (almost?) never need to refresh it. This cuts about 1 second or more on my machine, depending on the backend. 2) For almost all backends we can easily deduce the repository root directory (exceptions: cvs, rcs, sccs), and I believe that in almost all cases the user wants to see the status of this directory, not of some subdirectory or any directory unrelated to the current buffer. Hence the function vc-root-dir, which I think should be bound to 'C-x v d' and the respective menu item. In the rare case when the user need to do something unusual, they can do M-x vc-dir. When the backend doesn't have the function vc-xx-root, vc-root-dir interactively delegates to vc-dir, so for CVS, for example, the behavior will not change.
