But I'm not sure this is the issue here, or at least not the only one. For example, we could have "C-x v v" do a commit, and then the next "C-x v v" do a push. The broader issue is how to generalize RCS-style vc-next-action to modern dVCSes. I think the current "generalization" is mostly a net loss; we can and should do better.
