However, the Emacs manual still says it's possible:
When you give a prefix argument to `vc-next-action' (`C-u C-x v v'), it
still performs the next logical version control operation, but accepts
additional arguments to specify precisely how to do the operation.
* You can specify the name of a version control system. This is
useful if the fileset can be managed by more than one version
control system, and Emacs fails to detect the correct one.
* Otherwise, if using CVS or RCS, you can specify a revision ID.
If the fileset is modified (or locked), this makes Emacs commit
with that revision ID. You can create a new branch by supplying an
appropriate revision ID (*note Branches::).
