Moved to suggested section

Renamed to vc-guess-url-backend

I don't have a strong opinion on this. I originally proposed this:

(when (file-directory-p directory)
  (if (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
      (find-file directory)
    directory))

The OPEN-DIR argument was suggested by Philip, and I agreed with him,
since the option is also good.  I'm fine with both options, I'll do as
you say.
