Do you think I can add commands like `vc-rename-this-file' and 
`vc-delete-this-file' instead? And then replace `vc-rename-file' in VC 
menu with the first one and add the second one below it?

Because `vc-rename-file' is likely the only command in that menu that 
acts on a single file, but does't automatically use the one the current 
buffer visits.
