That was a little bait for input ;) But the real point is that, regardless of underlying VCS, there is a choice between "having all core developers know by heart the right switches and order of steps to correctly checkout/update ->( branch locally) -> fix -> diff -> commit -> merge -> solve conflicts" and "offering a little, well-documented script that takes care of the switches and sequence of steps". Maybe a 'untangle svnmerge-created history' tool would help too? :) >> I am also available to help with the Python workflow part, and >> there's an early effort to integrate Rietveld and our bug tracker >> under way. > >> Food for thought example (sorry, not quite how a core dev works): > [...] >> >> SVN exporting current working copy to: ../month_delta > > Does it work when using an hg/bzr/git mirror?

Given that the pyfix script is completely imaginary ATM, yes, it works as well with hg/bzr/git/perforce/CVS/darcs as it does with SVN :) In a more serious note, the PIDA offer puts anyvc[1] on the table. So we could support different VCSs as upload.py does it, or aim for a more pluggable way, probably based on anyvc. Either way, them scripts should be simple and follow the Unix way, so e.g. pyfix --export would actually call anyvc --export or pyvcs --export.
