Source control backends

["Stephen Kennedy" <stevek gnome org>]

Hi all,

The SCM backend interface is showing its age and its humble CVS
origins. It breaks regularly and theres no unit tests. There's no
interface to history.

In short it needs a major overhaul or replacement.

Does anybody know of a possible replacement? Some time ago the pida
project borrowed the vc library and rewrote it (now called anyvc).
Any others we should consider?

Thanks,
Stephen
