[New-bugs-announce] [issue3814] Add VCS support

[Douche]

New submission from Douche <sdouche at gmail.com>:

This is a basic try (4h) to extract specific SVN code out of the core
and add entry points for:
- filters (.svn, .hg, ...)
- find files in repos
- get revision's number

Thoughts:
- if repos have 2 VCS entries (.svn and .hg for example), the first
valid entry point is used. 
- walk_revctrl function needs more love. I keep the philosophy of
iterator but is it the good way ?

Notes:
- vcs_svn.py & vcs_hg.py are only for demo. The natural place are into
Setuptools plugins.
- filters must return a list.
- revisions must return a int or None (not 0).

Critics welcome.
