No: it needs to do it from a place where he can specify the right fileset,
i.e. from vc-dired (or maybe from just `dired' depending on how this works).

The Lisp of possible features is open ended, but if the command was run from
a vc-dired buffer, there's nothing special to do, which is a good reason to
request that such commands be run from a vc-dired buffer.
