You can use both. The VC backend is a per-file mode, that's handy when
you are editing a file and want a quick diff/revert/commit of just
that file; the commands are executed directly from the buffer
containing the file. When making bigger changes, you should use the
git-status mode (the one in git.el), which is a tree browser that
gives you a view of the whole project.

What emacs mode do you use to resolve conflicts?  From the git-status
buffer, if you edit a file with 'f' it will automatically turn on
smerge mode if there are conflicts, or you can edit it in ediff merge
mode with 'd E' like under pcl-cvs. Is that what you mean?
