Is there any good reason why "C-u C-x v v" won't work for a dVCS? There's an advantage in keeping the UI consistent as much as reasonably practical, even though the two VCS types are very different. > You should be able to create a branch on both git and > Mercurial by doing 'C-u C-x v s', which runs 'vc-create-tag'. vc-create-tag is a strange name for making a branch, which probably doesn't help discoverability.
