Description

In the long run it would be nice to be able to choose whether to use Mercurial or Git as VCS backend.

As a first step we should refactor things so that we have a VCSDriver independent interface with a method to select which driver to use. Currently we have e.g. HgRepository class which has several static methods.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing HgRepository class and its static methods to understand the current VCS coupling. Identify the project entry points that use those methods and determine how a driver-selection method would fit. Done means the VCSDriver interface and driver selection are independent of the Mercurial implementation, with existing behavior preserved.
