Is that one of the features > (or planned features)? That's not one of the current features; I've been focusing on making basic functionality of each of the backend available from the GUI. I'm trying to do this in a standardised way so that the GUI always looks / acts the same regardless of underlying storage repository. But yes, in the future I'd like to wrap the process of repository conversion / interaction so that's it's easier for people on different SCM backends to collaborate. I've been pondering whether a commandline-based "universal SCM tool" that could transparently provide DVCS functionality on top of a variety of systems would be worth playing with at some point.
