The purpose of making the vc-diff buffer read-only (2007-11-10 change to
vc.el) was so that people can use the read-only diff-mode bindings like
"k" and "p". However, it's counter-intuitive that undo does not work.
Probably the easiest fix is to define a diff-undo command that lifts the
read-only restriction temporarily. Any thoughts?
