I suspect that v in vc-dir is used rarely enough that people would
not object to a change.

But there is nothing in Dired comparable to "registering" a file,
so whatever key vc-dir uses for this will not be comparable
to the meaning of that same key in Dired.  So maybe this mini-problem
can't be avoided.

Maybe a better fix would be to make v in vc-dir ask for confirmation.
(I don't know whether it already does that; I may never have used it.)
At least this way typing v by mistake won't cause much trouble.
