True. The patch predated the introduction of that function.

Here's the code that I have been using for the last few years:

(defun vc-dir-quick ()
  (interactive)
  (require 'vc-dir)
  (let* ((file (or buffer-file-name default-directory))
         (backend (vc-responsible-backend file))
         (dir (vc-call-backend backend 'root file)))
    (let (pop-up-windows)
      (pop-to-buffer (vc-dir-prepare-status-buffer "*vc-dir*" dir 
backend)))
    (unless (derived-mode-p 'vc-dir-mode)
      (let ((use-vc-backend backend))
        (vc-dir-mode)))))
