SRC users: check in, please?

I just released version 1.7 of SRC, Simple Revision Control.


For those of you late to the party, SRC is a simple version control system for directories full of small standalone files like FAQs, scripts in your ~/bin, dotfiles, and so forth – cases where you don’t want multi-file changesets. It’s actually a Python wrapper around RCS (or, optionally, SCCS) but gives you integer sequential version numbers, lockless operation, and a modern low-friction UI modeled on Subversion’s.


With 1.7, I think it’s finished – the last two user-visible features I had planned were SCCS support and DOT visualization, and those are done now.


I believe SRC is now feature-complete for its functional niche. Am I mistaken? Is anything missing? Did I do anything that seems wrong?


I know SRC has had real users since about 0.3. If you are an SRC user, please check in in the comments. Most importantly, tell me if you need any feature it doesn’t have. I’m also curious if the actual use cases are any different than I expected, and I am all agog to know if anyone actually has a use for the SCCS support.
