Yes.

These would have to be fixed in vc-dir rather than vc-git, and they 
would require some more investigation about the proper behavior and the 
places to fix.

Regarding the moving of point, personally, I'm not sure which of the 
behaviors is more correct.

The latter is caused basically by:

- Git returning a directory in the file status list.
- Directories not having an actual VCS status in our system.
