`vc-dired` does what I want, but the annotation added by `vc-dired`
`unregistered` etc were too distracting.
If you look at the screenshots I shared, you will see that the file names are
fontified based on their vc state.
There is also a command to mark files by their state, and I can bulk delete,
move or commit the files.
So, task I had is already accomplished with recipes I shared ... and I felt
that enhancing `diff-hl-dired` could be generally useful.
