It won't at the moment, at least the `cond' that computes the backend in
vc-root-diff and vc-root-print-log would need to be updated to deal with
dired buffers.

Completely untested: 

((derived-mode-p 'dired-mode)  (vc-responsible-backend default-directory))

C-x v g won't work either, vc-annotate seems to want to call
vc-ensure-vc-buffer for some reason.
