I'm also a fan of unix design philosophy :-)
When I say 'built right into', I'm thinking of a modular system that
supports various version control repositories on the backend with
tight integration with the user interface on the front end.
As Raph mentioned, there is a lot of exciting potential for innovation
when you have freedom thats impossible for proprietary foundries to
match. This is one of them.
