Hey Kristis. Well, currently VCI is an abstraction of things
already inside the VCS. So it wouldn't yet know about anything going on
during a commit. It actually currently is also a read-only system--it
doesn't yet do commits, although that is planned for the future. After
that, possibly abstracting away actions to be done during commit hooks
would be possible.

Yep. And then "project names" inside that repository.

Hm. Well, at first it should be something that SCMBug uses VCI
to do. As we start to understand more how this concept is implemented
by different VCSes, we could get a possible idea as to whether or not
VCI could abstract that feature.
