It seems this patch was installed, thanks.

  * vc-git.el (vc-git-dir-status-goto-stage): Pass --relative to the
  diff-index command.  This requires at least git-1.5.5.

Subject: 23.0.91; vc-dir for git uses wrong default directory
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 21:08:32 +0100

With a working directory under Git control, doing a vc-dir from a
subdirectory produces a vc-dir buffer where all displayed paths are
relative to the working directory's top directory but the buffers
default directory is the subdirectory. The result is that many
commands like vc-dir-find-file and vc-diff dosen't work.

For instance, directory structure:
 top/
   .git
   foo/
     bar.txt

Doing a vc-dir from a buffer containing bar.txt gives

VC backend : Git
Working dir: ~/src/vcgit-bug/foo/
Branch     : master

                         ./
                         foo/
     edited              foo/bar.txt

Moving to the foo/bar.txt line and pressing RET produces:
 "Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its
   parents"
and a empty bar.txt buffer.
