API enhancement for SSCM vendor compatability
---------------------------------------------

         Key: SCM-54
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-54
     Project: Maven SCM
        Type: Improvement
  Components: maven-scm-api  
 Reporter: Mike Esler


As discussed on the mailing list, we should add a reserved/uunreserved boolean 
to the checkout command.

Also, provide a bind() command which binds a local directory to an 
SCM-controlled project. There should be a corresponding release() method as 
well.

Thus, the calling pattern to get files out of a repository would always be a 
2-step process:
  bind(localDirectory, remoteProject)
  checkout(localDirectory, fileset, reserved/unreserved)

This will open the door for integrations with a lot of SCM vendors, and allow 
us to clean up the SCM provider in the Wagon code.
