Curiously, I added "k" to revert in both vc-dir-mode-map and
vc-prefix-map in my configuration.
I was trying to remember why, I _think_ it is because that's the key
used for reverting in Magit.

I do agree with the next reply that "kill" means something completely
different in the Emacs context. That said, vc-prefix-map uses "g" for
vc-annotate, so there's precedent that not all bindings are mnemonic :)
