Then can't use other vc commands like 'C-x p p C-x v L'

I tried it out but don't like that it requires an additional key 'o'.

I believe it should be possible to add a new option
'project-switch-use-global-map' (or a new value 'global' for existing
'project-switch-use-entire-map') that will combine 'project-prefix-map'
with global-map before reading a key sequence.
