It usually is, isn't it? If it doesn't have to, then we should look for a different name ASAP, one that doesn't include "VC" at all. > OTOH a new term we could use would stand for something like: a project > type which will recognize the enabled kinds of VC repositories and use > their roots as project root, and knows how to use certain VC systems to > speed up the fetching of files, and knows about Git submodules, but also > recognizes other directories (inside or outside of VC repositories) > based on configurable conditions. If this type of project doesn't have to be "backed by a VCS", then what does distinguish it from other types of projects?
