No, it was just forgotten :) And I'm not sure every VCS supports this,
but I guess it can be emulated...

Uhm, no. Then the function should rather be isVersionControlled() or
isUnderVersionControl(). 

Also the export function in svn allows local or repository URL's, but I
think we should limit this to local urls for now.

Actually at some point I wanted to split local and remote methods, so
remove methods would be in a separate interface....
