Most people who contribute > to more than one project regularly will want to use both. How would this be preferable to setting `vc-prepare-patches-separately' as a directory local variable? That way you don't have to remember to use a prefix argument whenever invoking `vc-prepare-patch'. > On the other hand, having a numeric prefix argument mean "send patches > correspoding to the top N revisions of the current branch" would be very > convenient. Perhaps these two could be combined by using a negative > number to mean also invert? This is the usual problem with numeric prefix arguments. You don't get that much expressivity with just an integer. That is why I would hesitate to assign any particular interpretation to prefix arguments, before considering and weighing the options.
