Alternatives
------------
There are a couple of alternatives to vcs:
- `anyvc `_ actively maintained, similar to
vcs (in a way it tries to abstract scms), supports more backends (svn, bzr);
as far as we can tell it's main heart of Pida_; it's main focus however is on
working directories, does not support in memory commits or history
traversing;
- `pyvcs `_ not actively maintained; this
package focus on history and repository traversing, does not support commits
at all; is much simpler from vcs so may be used if you don't need full repos
