Hello,

Yesterday I wanted to review changes to some documentation files in a
repository; roughly, `git log -- dgit.1 *.pod`.  I would have preferred
to have the result in a *vc-log* buffer, but I don't believe we have a
command to do this.  'C-x v !' can't do it.

If there were changes to each of the files, they would have appeared in
*vc-dir*, and I could have used the new vc-dir-mark-by-regexp, and then
vc-print-log would have done the right thing.

So, I wonder if we could have a way to insert up-to-date files into
*vc-dir*, so that they could be used to select an arbitrary VC fileset?
