"""
Module implementing the general part of the interface to version control systems.

The general part of the VCS interface defines classes to implement common
dialogs. These are a dialog to enter command options, a dialog to display
some repository information and an abstract base class. The individual 
interfaces (i.e. CVS) have to be subclasses of this base class.
