It's only slightly difference from what we have. For VCSes with a 
staging area (which would have to be displayed separately), the cycle 
would be unstaged -> staged -> commit.

The details would need working out, though. Like, whether "C-x v v" 
would do something in a file buffer other than displaying the vc-dir buffer.

After a prompt, maybe, like Chad suggested. But I don't know if we want 
to make this too easy: after all, when ChangeLogs are auto-generated, it 
might be better to somehow force the user to review the changes and 
messages before pushing.

However, if the "push now?" action would support that, maybe it'll be a 
good combination.
