For KDE they exist for CVS and Subversion. They're not exactly the same
and are not on by default (you must tell Konqueror to turn on
Cervisia/Kdesvn for that directory)

Anyway, I am thinking about a bit broader thing for a while now. The
user interfaces of many version control systems are very similar -- all
have commit, some form of checkout, status, diff, most have merge. Thus
it should be possible to factor out quite a bit of glue between those
user interfaces and the version control systems.

I believe it's not so speed-critical, that it could well be in python.
Actually it _should_ be in python, so it's developed reasonably fast and
reasonably refactorable.  Maybe even in windows -- it's said that in Win
XP, there is quite a bit of python code, though it's compiled to binary
throught some translator.
