I believe this would quickly become a way to full-blown /featuritis/. The interfaces to VCs right now are quite interesting in qt-creator. Perhaps just add an appropriate interface for repository init commands of the supported VCSs, then, say, some optional mechanism to automatically+transparently commit files on save and, with appropriate documentation, even the non-technical coders (??) would manage to use this. What is really missing IMHO is temporary backup of current modified file (a la vim and (x)emacs), dropped on save, to provide for the (I know, almost inexistent) crashes during a lot of editing. With qt-creator it is easy to modify a large number of files in very significant ways (with the multi-file search&replace) and if the machine stops or the program crashes before the user managed to hit Ctrl+Shift+S, it could easily become frustrating (I know what I talk about ...)
