Hi, with a larger refactoring of anyvc i recently started adding a simple push/pull api. They are just working for simple use-cases and lack support for graph based selection of revisions/patches to pull/push.
The initial api's are basically "all you can get" or "up to rev/patch x" The next steps will be to get a graph of incoming/outgoing revs/ patches and allow selection. Patches/patch-graps are kinda special and only work in darcs/camp (they are patch-dependencies and very unique). The rest is just Revision-DAG based (hg, git, bzr, monotone). There will never be pull/push support for svn, as it just isn't made for that. More headaches are created by the quite different relations between branches, repositories and workdirs each dvcs has. oversimplified and probably incomplete overview: * monotone has repos in sqlite databases and related/unrelated branches in those - workdirs just point to db + rev * hg has `clone branches`, named branches and recently grew `bookmarks` (git style) , workdir is set to a rev of the repo * bzr has standalone branches and repositories with branches as subdirs, branch:wordir is 1:1 * git has named references and `clone branches`, the workdir is also a set to a rev of the repo another undecided issue is dealing with the extensions of the systems for * patch management * bzr has loom * hg has mq and pbranch * git probably has something, i'm clueless * serving/smart serving * archiving/snapshoots * repository management Also extracting history information (this is needed for incoming/ outgoing graphs as well as for general browsing) is tricky as the points of view differ and the different systems impose different sets of features/limits that i'll have to analyze more.
