[forge-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMFORGE-115) Detect underlying version control system and provide convenience commands

[Paul Bakker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-115?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12593352#comment-12593352 ] 

Paul Bakker commented on SEAMFORGE-115:
---------------------------------------

I think that's going to far. Forge doesn't have to do stuff that can be done with the same ease on the command line directly. 

On the other hand, this could easily be implemented if all commands following hg/git/svn are just redirected to the command line. The good part would be that you won't have to leave forge to use version control. But still I think it's not that useful. 

Abstract the underlying system away (have common commands for git/svn/hg) will be much harder to implement because the commands mean different things in different tools. It will be confusing for users too.
