Right, I did too. So I described above how 'vc-cvs-root' could be 
implemented. Aside from minor concerns about performance with Tramp, my 
question is whether vc-root-diff and/or vc-print-root-log will be able 
to work without individual files specified (when FILES is (list root)).

vc-cvs-diff starts with looking for individual file backups, but maybe 
the "slow" fallback path will handle the directory just fine.
