        Are there any other Emacs commands applying read-directory-name
        to something other than default-directory?

        Anyway, the ‘default-dirname’ argument to read-directory-name
        can be a list; the first two elements would be default-directory
        and vc-root (preferably in a customizable order; but personally,
        – I can live up with either), with the rest being the
        intermediates.  All win, no?

        Or the user can specify it explicitly; in particular, – by
        choosing the right one from the ‘default-dirname’ list.
