Ok, My take on VCS/SCM and fossil+venti

you can copy the repository to a working copy with - dircp.
you can tag a release with - dircp

(don't forget, copying a directory set is very nearly free in terms of di=
sk space).

adding a log message is "cat >> ChangeLog"

the only bit missing is the ability to freeze (seal) a tagged version. Yo=
u need
the ability for users in a special "dumpers" group to be ablc to take arc=
hival snapshots
on demand.

merge can be done using diff3 from ed7 (in my contrib), though this is a =
bit clunky.

a real graphical merge tool would be great (exercise for the reader =E2=98=
=BA)
