Yeah, good point; the concept of "next-action" has always kind of
bothered me, even in the old single-file case...
Even if it's sometimes a handy shortcut, I think in many cases I'd
prefer a firmer notion of what my command was going to do...

How about "c" for commit in *vc-dir*?

Of course, there needs to be a vc-commit command first... !

[I'd also suggest "a" as an alias for "register", as "i" seems obscure.]

[Offhand, I think they'd be good bindings for the global keymap too,
but it contains so much weird cruft bound to apparently arbitrary
letters, it's probably too late to make any sense of that...]
