Good idea, however, I have no idea how I would go about that... Do I put
a bug in on the JIRA bug tracker, then add a patch? Bit of a newbie
question I know, but everyone has a first time. If it is the JIRA page
that I should use, which category does the SCM plugin come under, since
I can't find an appropriately named one. Documentation, somehow cook up
a plugin-scm category? Blimey, this open source collaboration stuff
isn't easy, is it...

Cheers,

Nick
