I was just suggesting hiding the 'specific' mumbo jumbo required to 
drive the 'particular' revision control system with a generic script 
that may or may not do other things besides the update/commit....

Its something Ive done from time to time, to enforce correct behaviour,
as getting other people to use the correct arguments was tedious, it also
would give you hooks to do the schema hack, if the revision control 
system didnt give such hooks.

I shouldnt have mentioned it ... or mentioned my intentions more clearly :)
