Very minor issue, but one I constantly get bitten by.
Typing
M-x info Emacs RET m VC RET
doesn't give access to the VC manual. You have to do
M-x info Emacs RET m Vers RET
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in thinking of VC as VC, not as "Version
Control".
Thanks,

Try
M-x info Emacs RET i VC TAB

This sends me to "vc-annotate", which is better but still not the expected
result.

I think you pressed RET instead of TAB.

There are a few items in the list that begin with "VC".

No. In any case, the usual recommended way of looking up something in
an Info manual is by using Info-index ('i'), not by using menus. So I
just added an index entry to the manual; now you can type "i VC RET"
(with "VC" in upper-case) and get yourself landed where you wanted.
If this is sufficient, we can close this bug report.

I'll try to correct my bad habits, then.
