I experimented a bit assigning a face to the text inserted into the
modeline by vc-default-mode-line-string. The result is great, IMHO.

It's trivial to make a patch for adding a configurable face for each VC
state. The question is: should they default to the current face, so the
modeline looks the same way as it does now, or should I use some
imagination and choose some (possibly horrible) defaults?
