Sure. But from the discussion with Eli on this bug report, I thought
that it was decided to left `C-x v v' untouched and use `C-u C-x v v'
when needed. A user can also set its prefered backends by ordering
vc-handled-backends as he wanted to.

Anyway, I'll tried to rework that but do you happen to know from the top
of your head a function to count the "directory deepness" of a file?
