Actually, I think it needs to get renamed back. There are vc-*
subsystems maintained outside of Emacs, and those will stop working
when their hook functions get called under a different name.
As an example, there is vc-git.el. It is also distributed in git's
contrib directory for the sake of users of older Emacsen and XEmacs,
and keeping it compatible would become more of a nuisance. Basically,
it would necessitate putting an alias into vc-git.el as well as
upstream vc.
Unless there is a really pressing reason to keep the renamed function,
I think we should really revert here.
