[Python-Dev] Looking for VCS usage scenarios (original) (raw)

I have started the DVCS PEP which can be seen at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dg7fctr4_40dvjkdg64 . Not much is there beyond the rationale, usage scenarios I plan to use, and what other sections I plan to write.

At this point I am looking for any suggestions for fundamental usage scenarios that I am missing from the PEP. If you think the few already listed are missing some core part of a VCS, please let me know.

And just to stave off some emails, I have two comments to make. One, please do not start sending me info on how to fill in the usage scenarios. I want to first solidify what the scenarios are. Plus I want to figure them out on my own to get a feel of the documentation for the tools.

Second, as of right now Git is not in the running. Ignoring the fact I dislike the tool (my issues with it are documented in the python-dev archives), there is also the fact that it would be nicer to have Python have as its VCS something written in Python instead of C/Perl.
