[Lazarus] Development of other revision control

Hi Reinier,

thanks for all your specific and encouraging comments, and taking the
time to comment even though you are quite busy right now. I've looked at
the link you suggested, it looks helpful.

In order to try to get lazsvnpkg to do something for me, I might just
set up an SVN server that I can have full control over on my printer
sharing box at home (it's not doing too much else). I'll also play with
the basic gui based SCM's such as TortoiseSVN (on my wife's windows box,
I'm using a mac) just to get familiar with what others have done.

Reinier, thanks again for all your help and suggestions

Yes, I also think all these standard operations should be able to be
handled by the IDE in Lazarus.

Yes, I think these "less than trivial operations" would be better
handled "outside of the box".

Hans-Peter, thanks for your comments and suggestions.
