(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I have 

[pull]
        rebase = true

in ~/.gitconfig, and that makes all this work automatically in vc-dir, I
think?  That, is I don't think it would be necessary to add anything
further in this area.  Does anybody else have an opinion here?
