That's an option, yes.

We can also look into whether "verbose" applies to the "register" step 
of vc-next-action, and if not, or it doesn't conflict, add 
"switch-backend" feature to it.

If, like you said, the manual says 'C-u' will do this for all commands, 
it wouldn't be great to have to use different prefixes for different 
commands. But an escape hatch is better than no escape hatch, of course.
