I was wondering if you had any comments on my last message:

How would this be preferable to setting `vc-prepare-patches-separately'
as a directory local variable? That way you don't have to remember to
use a prefix argument whenever invoking `vc-prepare-patch'.

This is the usual problem with numeric prefix arguments. You don't get
that much expressivity with just an integer.
That is why I would hesitate to assign any particular interpretation to
prefix arguments, before considering and weighing the options.
