(I am a VIM-n00b)

According to the VCSCommand docs, the commands will operate on a directory if you are currently in a "directory buffer". I can't seem to find any other references to opening a "directory buffer" though.

What am I (probably very stupidly) missing?

Looks like it is buffer with filetype=netrw: if you open a directory in vim (for example, try vim .), it will use netrw plugin which is distributed with the official package.

  • Ah... you put me on the right path! First, you can open a directory buffer within the session using ":e ." Unfortunately (for those using it), if you are using NERDTree, the vcscommand actions won't work. I happily disabled NERDTree (since I'm using Command-T), and now everything is perfect.
