   This part I inferred, but of course it is necessary (weren't
   you the guy complaining harshly about lack of comments in VC's
   in-development code ;-)?

I said i find under-commenting obnoxious.  Now i add: everyone is
free to be obnoxious -- makes life interesting.  If these IMHOs
sound like harsh complaining, i must introduce you someday to my
two-year-old...

   I don't understand what for (in terms of user-level feature)?

Please see the `vc-status-mode' docstring in the updated code below.
This time i include a full patch for anyone interested in trying
it out.  In terms of user experience, this means that doing:
M-x vc-status RET ~/build/MISC/ferm/examples RET

shows a buffer where the first line reads:
Directory: ~/build/MISC/ferm/examples/

and "ferm" (the project's "root" directory) is a button, which
means (for me) underlined and clickable, whose action is to do
`(vc-status "~/build/MISC/ferm")'.

If this explanation makes sense to you and the docstring doesn't,
could you suggest another wording?
