Desired behavior: commands should run with default-directory of the
project-root.  So C-x C-j should open dired in the project root.

I specifically ran into this when doing
C-x p p some/project RET C-x v +

because I wanted to immediately pull that project.  Intuitively it made
sense to me that that should work, it would be nice if it did actually
work.
This should be possible to implement by using 'set-transient-map'.

(Tangential further thought: I wonder if we could make C-x p work as a
prefix for all commands automatically, so for example C-x p C-x C-j
would open the project root, C-x p M-& would run a shell command in the
root, etc.  That would be neat.)
IOW, like 'C-x p p' but without asking for another project.  Doable as well.

That sounds like a cool potential addition, just we all need to keep in mind that not every command will be 100% compatible with the approach.

One example is the bug#58784 where changing default-directory made project-switch-to-buffer behave incorrectly. Maybe there are some less subtle examples as well.
