Version Control API is back! There's no stable 5.x-2.0 release yet, and the Drupal 6 version will only be tackled after that happens (i.e. next year), but we're alive and kicking again. And yes, I'm still determined to get it to replace cvs.module on drupal.org. Even if it might take another year until all the odds and ends come together.

Anyways, now is the time for potential contributors to jump in and create recipes on how to set up version control integrated sites, to port the Git and Mercurial backends, create a new one for Bazaar, to make the repository viewer work on previous revisions or to improve the CVS backend so that it's browsable like the SVN backend's development version. If you're ambitious, you might also try porting drupal.org's release scripts to the Version Control API so that automated releases can be made with Subversion and other version control systems.

Whatever the outcome, the era of cumbersome reinventions is over for the time being. Time to get started on features (and the D6 port, soonish) - let's push cvs.module into irrelevance and take version control integration with Drupal to the next level!

If you're passionate about version control systems, here's where you can make a difference!
