I think that _by default_ C-x v v should commit and push.  But there
are many ways to work out the details of that.  I have nothing against
having it display more information, ask for confirmation, or whatever.
And I have nothing against making this depend on settings in the
repository or .emacs.

The point is that C-x v v should not, by default, lead people to
think they are finished, without installing the changes on Savannah.
