Proper integration of other versioning systems than subversion

[e0425863@…]

Problem: Using git properly with bitten is not possible at the moment. Git cannot handle the path, min/max revision parameters from bitten and would need different parameters.

Suggestion: Pull out all functionality that is subversion specific (configuration interface, database sheme, calls to repository) into a bitten-subversion plugin. This extra layer would allow to develop plugins for other versioning systems.

I made a modified version of bitten that should be fully compatible with git. See ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BittenForGitPlugin

We're making some changes now that should make it better for sorting and displaying Mercurial and Git (see query:milestone=0.6&description=~mercurial&description=~git). As for remaining issues, it would be quite useful if they were raised here and detailed. Something like min/max revision should work, regardless of repository backend.

You are right about min/max revision, it should work with the git plugin without any changes. However handling branches in git will require some changes. My Bitten For Git Plugin? should provide a starting point for these changes.
