If the OP wants a look at a mature interface for unifying VCS
interfaces, they might look at the operations supported in Emacs
vc-mode, which integrates a number of systems
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CategoryVersionControl). My
feeling is that it supports the "traditional" VCS very well,
distributed systems a little less well, and full "lifecycle" style VCS
poorly.
