Option -v is commonly used for verbose and -V for version; see cp(1), mv(1), ssh(1) etc. To improve interoperability, this patch suggest updating to use option -V.
The VMS port already uses -V for VMS options, so this would not work for that port, and we try to be consistent across ports when we can.
