I'm very much a newbie to much of this (even using a VCS, except old 
experience with Visual SourceSafe and some recent learnings and readings in 
RCS, CVS, Subversion, and Darcs ), but I wanted to mention the way I 
anticipate working with (i.e., using) a VCS.

I (hopefully) will work on some collaborative projects that have a (to me, 
remote) repository.  But, I also plan to maintain my own local repository for 
those same projects, especially while I am learning the codebase.

Thus I can play around with the code locally but be able to revert changes as 
needed.  Then, when (if) I get to the point of actually making what I think 
might be a useful improvement to the project, I'll submit my changes to the 
remote repository.

I don't know whether repositoryRevision() vs. localRevision() is relevant to 
this, but even if not, my question would be: will the KDE VCS interface 
support such a mode of working?
