All and all I think it comes down to the module creators choice. The
original thread was considering a name for VCS which every techy
probably knows what that is for; it is an acronym for Virus Control
System. Acronyms are not alway understandable and should be avoided.
versioncontrol.module for a file name is good because it is a file
name. The README.txt and the product pages would spell it out for
those who cannot read that it is version control.
