> Why not have some relevant history in VC itself?

Then like the project history currently is saved in ~/.emacs.d/projects
saving of a separate vc-directory history will be duplicated the same way
in e.g. ~/.emacs.d/vc-projects?

Then project.el could have a customizable variable that will prevent
recording vc project history.

You mean to record an internal vc-history separately from project.el,
but still to save it in the same project file ~/.emacs.d/projects?
