What is the current fileset for "C-x v O"? isn't that "all files"
anyway?

I could understand if you were talking about a VC command invoked from
a vc-dir buffer or a Dired buffer, where you can mark files to be
considered as the current fileset.  That would mean your comment is
about the vc-dir command 'O' or the equivalent in Dired.  But
otherwise, I'm not sure I understand the UI you have in mind.

And then there's the issue of whether the backend supports what you
want, of course.
