8 You realize I wrote generic SCM support into repoman over the summer
9 right? :P It was never merged (afaik I slacked on it, but also because
10 it uses Popen and you pesky OSX folks are stuck on python2.3, so I need
11 to convert to portage.spawn).

13 However the support was generic, so for pretty much any system that 'is
14 kinda like cvs/svn' should work fine with a few tweaks to the exec
15 mapping. <bias>This of course excludes GIT, since it's a huge
16 non-standard piece of crap.</bias>

18 I may work on fixing that code up and putting it into HEAD before I retire.
