The Team menu contains all and only operations related to what is traditionally
known as Version Control (or, less popularly, Source Control, or Revision
Control, or Source Code Management). Instead of using one of these industry-
accepted terms, Eclipse invented the term "Team." This is confusing to novices
and should be renamed.

and "Team" is confusing. Lets try to introduce "Version Control" is a few central places, once this is established, we can start moving all labels.

+1 https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common/+/169127 did this for the preference page and I plan to change code and documentation in sync. I you notice that something is missing, please let me know.
I added Version Control (Team) to the view category, the action set category and the preference node and in multiple places in the help.
I avoided changing the name of context menus as "Version Control" is unfortunately relatively long for a context menu entry. So hopefully with the new entries the usage will be clearer to the end user.
A late thanks to Alex for this bug report. I tried to make the naming a little bit better for new users. In future releases we can reconsider even renaming the menu but for this release I think it is good to introduce this is without to strong UI changes.
