I'm not sure we want to allow C-x v i to do that. OT1H it might be
convenient and maybe it can work well, but OTOH it looks risky and would
require changing vc-register more than I'd like.
It would probably be better for vc-git to provide another command, for that.
We could probably add a `extra-keys' operation similar to `extra-menu'
so that vc-git can not only provide a new command but also provide
a specific C-x v <foo> key binding for it.
