;;; Commentary:

;; While packages managed by package.el use tarballs for distributing
;; the source code, this extension allows for packages to be fetched
;; and updated directly from a version control system.

;;; TODO:

;; - Allow for automatic updating
;;   * Detect merge conflicts
;;   * Check if there are upstream changes
;; - Allow finding revisions that bump the version tag
;;   * Allow for `package-vc-install' to use the version
;;     of the package if already installed.
;; - Allow for ELPA specifications to be respected without
;;   endangering the user with arbitrary code execution
;; - Allow maintaining patches that are ported back onto regular
;;   packages and maintained between versions.
;; - Allow locking the specific revisions of sourced packages
;;  (comparable to `package-selected-packages') so that specific
;;  revisions can be re-installed.
