As long as it works (UI-wise) similarly to vc-diff, the behavior
is fine.  I wanted the implementation to rely as much as possible on VC
and as little as possible on ediff's own revision control code, but that
is not crucial, if doing it differently lets it share more code with
ediff-revision.
Can you submit a patch according to these guidelines?
