Keep in mind that due to the potential overlay overlap issues, most users will likely only use one or two of the overlays and that would certainly be the recommended approach. Thus, they'll merge and learn (if necessary) whatever their chosen overlay is using, and not worry about the others. Advanced users and devs able to deal with the potential conflicts of multiple overlays shouldn't have difficulty managing multiple version control systems, and they'll be the only ones that have to worry about it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
