21 2. As far as I can tell, this is something we can build upon, though
22 sorting out details will take some time.
23 3. What utilities are used by most devs that need to know about the
24 underlying SCM system? Maybe we can set up a wiki and collect such
25 things. echangelog and ebump are the only things that come to my mind
26 instantly. echangelog has Git support, though you should all have a
27 look at the bugs open against it, and it won't work properly with Git
28 1.6 as all the git-<command> soft links have been gone. ebump though
29 has no support for Git at all.
30 We should really care better for gentoolkit-dev.
31 4. No backwards-compat, complete switch after some testing time.
