Description Alvaro Sanchez-Leon

Each connector may be willing to pass along information relevant to its instance, e.g. a selection parameters in UI wizard.   this elements are specific, so a generic information key, value map is suggested

Alvaro, what is the purpose of these key/values? Can you give an example?

Yes, In a wizard we can have multiple selection values that are dependent of the specific version control system. e.g. changeset selection via a query with specific HAS/HAS NOT labels, branches, activities, etc..
  So the key values can be later presented to the user.

In the tasks framework we have used methods that return booleans to describe the capabilities of repositories, e.g. AbstractRepositoryConnector.hasLocalCompletionState(). Is this something similar for the versions framework?
