This is now fixed.

Another problem is that ‘vc-root-version-diff’ can't be used when
fileset is not available.  But this command doesn't use fileset,
it uses the root directory, so this patch adds an optional
arg ‘fileset’ to ‘vc-diff-build-argument-list-internal’,
so ‘vc-root-version-diff’ can provide its own fake fileset
with the root directory:
