1 I'm all for flexibility, so long as it doesn't require too much
2 hackery to implement it. You'll have two problems:
4 * Determining what to commit.
6 You'd have to have RCS keep a log of all versioned files it
7 touched, and extend .commit() to accept the keyword list "files"
8 and commit only those files. This is doable, but maybe not worth
11 * Generating meaningful commit messages.
13 You'd have to add this functionality to each command (and future
16 This would probably not be a good idea for the Arch and Mercurial
17 backends, since they have a limited ability to rewrite history when
18 you screw up your commit message (as far as I can tell). Mercurial
19 does have "hg rollback", but it only works once, and lots of
20 typo-correction commits would just make the logs awkward.
