Ahem. I forgot to mention that. The tools don't really do anything
with svn, so I simulated that part of the test by creating a directory
with a ".svn" subdirectory, then created some subdirectories under
that and invoked which_scm from the top-level and each subdirectory.
My notes say:
which_scm
Checked inside and outside of 'ws'. Tested using real Teamware,
Mercurial, and CVS projects both at top level directory and
within subdirectories. Simulated (manually created RCS, .svn,
and SCCS directories) with other types.

Good idea; I'll give that a go.
I did find and fix one oddity in nightly when doing this with
teamware, so it's worth testing with hg as well.

Not many, I'll bet. I'd seen the link before, but I've used the
closed binary tarball for so long, I'd forgotten about it.
