Yes, I think that one is sensible. I'm currently drawn between 
versioncontrol.module (longer code, but better name) and vcs.module
(short code, not so perfect name).

The one issue I'm still having with versioncontrol.module is its extensibility 
for still longer names: there may be a vcs_project.module for the integration 
with project nodes, a vcslog.module for the commit logs, and a vcsview.module 
for repository browsing. (Other options left open.) Having the longer name 
for the original module would probably make those extension modules' names
a bit unwieldy, and especially blow up the corresponding menu paths.

I'm still undecided. Maybe it's still better to have
"Version Control System API" and get all the subsequent advantages
in return for the crappy base name.

Derek?
