That's what I thought.
But in that case, what's the meaning of this paragraph in files.texi?
It seems to be saying that `C-x v v' automatically DTRT outside of VC
dir mode by including the file in a changeset.
If you are accustomed to earlier versions of VC, the change in
behavior you will notice is in the directory mode. Other than
@kbd{C-x v v}, most VC-mode commands once operated on only one file
selected by the line the cursor is on. The change in the behavior of
@kbd{C-x v v} outside VC Directory Mode is more subtle. Formerly it
operated in parallel on all marked files, but did not pass them to the
version-control backends as a group. Now it does, which enables VC to
drive changeset-based version-control systems.
