What I would *like* to see in the PEP is a discussion of support tools
for these systems.  For CVS, I have used pcl-cvs in XEmacs, and psvn.el
for SVN.
I guess there is a Tortoise variant available for all these DVCSs, but
for example (haven't tried it myself) weak support for mercurial in XEmacs.

Thanks,
