Bother: This is only supported for Git, which is against the spirit of
VC, and definitely against the spirit of "C-x v v".

Why cannot this be implemented for every other VCS?  Given diffs in a
buffer, it should be as simple as running the Patch utility via
shell-command-on-region, then committing the results.  Git has a
special command for that, but we don't need a special command for
other VCSes, if they don't have the equivalent of "git apply".  (I'm
guessing that "git apply" simply runs Patch under the hood.)

Can we please implement this for other VCSes as well?
