Here is the first very small patch.
Do you think menu item "Version Control" is too long? 
"VC" is better?

Reorganizing the the 4 top-level is not done yet. I think we have to 
think about integrating version control own command and the menu entries.

     svn rm and "Operate"=>"Rename To" menu item.

In a directory which is version-control'ed by svn, vc-dired user may
expect "svn rm" is run when s/he invoke "Operate"=>"Rename To" menu
item.
