Description dalin 2010-11-22 02:08:54 UTC 
I'm a web developer and I usually check out libraries and modules from
multiple different RCSes (SVN, CVS, Bazaar and Git) and then manage my project
with SVN (someday I'll switch to Git).  However Netbeans gets all confused about which VCS to use for any given file.  My experience is that if you have more than one RCS in a project NB will eventually screw up and choose the wrong RCS.

I'm not sure how NB does it's best-guess determination of what RCS to choose, however here's my proposal:

- If a directory/file is only being managed by one RCS, use that. 
- If a directory/file is being managed by more than one RCS, then traverse up the directory tree until you find a directory that is only managed by one of the RCSes in question and use that.  If none can be found, then abort.
