Hi, The standard problem with any kind of refactoring is the backward compatibility requirement on source code level. There are a lot of constructs we'd like to remove, but upto now we have always weighted backward compatibility - even on source code level - over removing those. Martijn Kev

It certainly is an interesting idea. I think the main challenge in this endeavour is to figure out what is the common denominator between all the SCM systems and then assess if it is encompassing enough to warrant abstracting it out. I wish this effort will not be limited to tasks, but will al

Hi, it definitely is a good idea, and it's worth doing. SCM has become commonplace, just like databases. I think few people would object to lowering the barrier of moving to another SCM system and/or being more isolated from third-party SCM system changes. Jan Dvorak Kev Jackson wrote (sho
