In this case, uniquify is unable to "fix" the names (because they are
identical), and reverts to using "*vc-dir*" and "*vc-dir*<2>".

We could work around it, by using the backend name as part of the
path, but it's quite hackish and horrible (there's nothing precluding
a directory being named "git" or "bzr").

If such double-VCS directories are common, I'd suggest using it as
part of the buffer name: "*vc-dir* [Bazaar]", "*vc-dir* [Git]", etc.
But that's unrelated to #3224.

OK, thanks.
