Personally, I've never hit `C-x v +' when I meant to hit `C-x v =' --
because the latter is much easier to type.  (On a US keyboard, I'm sure
it varies.)

But grouping these commands more logically under `C-x v p' does sound
attractive.  That would also give us a place to put pull-and-then-push.
But:

If we want `C-x v p' as a prefix, then I think `p' should also be a
prefix in vc-dir.  But it's taken for a command that I think people
probably use all the time, so I don't think it's feasible to take it.
