Description Alvaro Sanchez-Leon CLA 2011-03-01 10:36:00 EST 
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
Comment 1 Alvaro Sanchez-Leon CLA 2011-03-02 08:54:25 EST 
initial draft implementation is under the "versionsIntegration" branch
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-04-03 19:41:15 EDT 
Alvaro, what is the purpose of these key/values? Can you give an example?

> 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.
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-04-05 13:48:03 EDT 
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?
