Hi!

I think we have enough packages in pkgsrc to warrant a new category
for revision control programs and tools.

I probably missed some, but I think at least the following 26
packages would belong in this category:

bzr
codeville
cvs
cvs2cl
cvs2svn
fhist
lincvs
mercurial
monotone
monotone-server
p5-SVN-Mirror
p5-SVN-Notify
p5-SVN-Simple
p5-VCP
p5-VCP-Dest-svk
p5-subversion
prcs
py-subversion
rapidsvn
refinecvs
ruby-subversion
subversion
subversion-base
svk
tailor
tkcvs

One could argue if tools like patch and diff also belong in this
category, but I'm not going to do this for now :)

I'm mostly looking for a good name for the new category. Some ideas:

revisioncontrol (rather long)
scm (too short)
sourcecodemanagement (too long)
versioncontrol (rather long, but shorter than the others :) )

Suggestions for the name, or any packages I overlooked?
