As a programmer I usually like everything Google does as a corporation, like thir ideas, like their projects especially the engineering quality of their software(good balancing of tradeoffs). But I personally don't understand Google on this subject. People just want to have a simple FTP like thing where we can download the code. I personally don't want a full blown VCS. And I also agree to the fact that this should be written in the documentation somewhere with bold. As a note about the appengine documentation, I just find the official documentation of AppEngine very immature. All of the important things I learn is coming from independent blogs and the Programming App Engine book. The official docs especially should give more information on simple but frequent patterns like efficient session management or pagination and should be imperative. If you look at the official documentation there are some content confusion on them like on 2 page it explains the overview of DataStore but there are 6 pages of documentation on sharded counters. More fundamental docs..
