I see that (vc-backend default-directory) works for directories in CVS,
but always returns nil for git (is it because git is file-oriented?).
OTOH, (vc-call-backend 'git 'root default-directory) works for git,
but (vc-call-backend 'cvs 'root default-directory) fails with
"Sorry, root is not implemented for cvs"
I can't find a generic function that would work for directories
in all backends.
