This is what I use for git, wrapped into a command:

              (vc-file-clearprops buffer-file-name)
              (vc-state-refresh buffer-file-name 'Git)
              (vc-mode-line buffer-file-name 'Git)

Of course, Eli's suggestion also works, although it does a lot more
than updating VC state display.
