Versionize Content of Django Model-Fields

django-rcsfield is a field (like models.TextField) for the Django web framework which - under the hood - versionizes its content. The 'rcs' in the name is short for revision control system.

The current implementation works with:

• Bazaar
• Git (via GitPython)
• SVN
• Mercurial (hg)

An abstration layer makes implementing additional backends very easy.

Currently it handles the following: On running manage.py syncdb it checks out or creates (depending on the backend) an initial working copy. If a model has an RcsTextField contents of this field are versionized in the repository.

To make it possible to fetch older versions a djangonic API is available. Plese look at the QuickStart Page for an example how the lookup API is implemented.
