SCM provider API

[csholmq]

In order to support multiple SCM systems we need some sort of API to hook up both GIT and e.g. SVN to.

#206 (comment)

This will likely not happen in the near future.

I only use Git, but I'm still confused as to why you would close this.

@joaomoreno As this is blocking #206, should this really be closed?

[joaomoreno]

Not necessarily, since git support exists without an SCM provider API.

But I'll keep it open, given it's a valid request, and so we can see it in the queries sorted by upvotes.

I also think this is a necessity. I'm forced to use ClearCase as SCM and I would like a way to fully integrate my workflow into VSCode.
