Shawn, what do you want to do with this, it seems the vcs devs are not very interested in this feature, should I implement it as described above? That is: * If you use any option that is stream-changing you should include "feature tool=git" in your stream * import-marks and export-marks are made into features * "option vcs" is ignored if vcs is a different vcs * "option vcs" must be recognised if vcs is this vcs -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
