Description

The idea is to have a basic abstraction layer and support for different version control systems, namely Git and Mercurial. Issue 816 started the discussion and will serve as basis for this PR.

The plan is to have a minimal set of features that would allow common vc commands to be used inside spyder by calling the external programs (using a QProcess)
