sitefuel's Issues

Support for Mercurial VCS.

Speedup SiteFuel startup

SiteFuel takes an annoyingly long time to startup, even when asking for --help.

Presumably this is because SiteFuel finds and loads all the processors on startup, but there might be a different bottle neck.

Support for Bazaar VCS.

Similar to git, mercurial.

Faster, more modern, etc.

Should be relatively seamless.

Atomic deployments/processing
