It would be interesting to know the needs you see that makes you make
this statement.

The way I used the Emacs CVS repos before I switched to bzr and git was
just:

- make local copy of remote repos
- hack
- fetch changes from upstream
- provide patch for emacs-devel to ridicule

which is about 3 scm commands. It seems to be a small investment even
for the interim.

I'm sure, though, that you need to do more complex things I'm missing.

Now that I use git I do more stuff like local branching, having several
remote branches to sync with, etc, but one doesn't have to do those kinds
of things.
