This is a nice feature.

We had such discussion about 'C-x v d' where the request
was for a command that doesn't require RET.  But 'C-x v D'
can't be used because it's bound to 'vc-root-diff'.

BTW, I have such customization:

  (define-key project-prefix-map "V" vc-prefix-map)

to allow vc commands in a project, e.g. 'C-x p V D' for 'vc-root-diff'.
