C-x v / is so nicely mnemonic keybinding that it even makes sense
to use it as a key prefix to the whole set of root-related commands, e.g.:
C-x v / = vc-root-diff (mnemonic: '/' root, '=' diff)
C-x v / l vc-print-root-log (mnemonic: '/' root, 'l' log)
C-x v / d vc-root-dir (mnemonic: '/' root, 'd' dir)
...
Hmm, btw, why the extra prefix 'print-'? Why not simply 'vc-root-log'?
