VCSContext isn't serializable. This causes problems when persisting the versioning views in our vcs system. svn and clearcase have a parallel context implementation, mercurial doesn't persist the views state at all.
I will make it serializable - not fully serializable though, there are some parts of it that cannot be serialized (Lookup).
