Since acronyms are pronounced letter by letter, the adjective matches
the spelling of the *sound* of the leading letter, in this case, "U"
is pronounced "YOU" which takes the "a". As another example, an
acronym that starts with M takes an "an" as the M is pronounced "EM".

As Stefan said, psvn and pcvs are orthogonal (meaning, they serve a
different purpose) to vc. Think of psvn and pcvs former like dired and
vc like the file operations (such as `C-x C-f' and `C-s').

Tchüß!
