The new command is okay, but the cache clearing lacks an indirection - 
we shouldn't go straight to the project-vc's cache here because that's 
not the only backend that can be used here.

The PoC previously posted in here https://debbugs.gnu.org/72300#26 could 
use some testing (I haven't come up with anything fundamentally better), 
and an improved cache structure will only affect the internal 
implementation.
