C-x v v should work just fine. If you mark multiple files it commits all of them, if none are marked it commits the file on the current line. vc-dired did the same thing. It does not have a shorter binding yet, or a menu entry. > As an aside, is there a way to cleanly abort a long-running background > status update?

C-c C-c kills the update process (second to last menu entry).
