@vindex vc-dired-terse-display
@kbd{C-x v d} creates a buffer which uses VC Dired Mode. This looks
-much like an ordinary Dired buffer (@pxref{Dired,,,emacs, the
-Emacs Manual}); however, normally it shows only the noteworthy files
-(those locked or not up-to-date). This is called @dfn{terse display}.
-If you set the variable @code{vc-dired-terse-display} to @code{nil},
-then VC Dired shows all relevant files---those managed under version
-control, plus all subdirectories (@dfn{full display}). The command
-@kbd{v t} in a VC Dired buffer toggles between terse display and full
-display (@pxref{VC Dired Commands}).
