Currently 'C-x v =' (vc-diff) can be easily mistyped as 'C-x v +' (vc-pull)
often with an adverse effect because '=' and '+' are on the same key.
It would be nice to bring both 'vc-pull' and 'vc-push' under the same
prefix key 'C-x v p'.  And to add vc-prepare-patch under the same prefix.

'p' and 'S' in vc-dir are specific to the vc-dir buffer.
So 'C-x v S' could be bound to the command vc-log-search
that has no key binding.
