The vcstools module provides a Python API for interacting with different version control systems (VCS/SCMs)
It is used in tools like wstool <https://wiki.ros.org/wstool>_ and rosinstall <https://docs.ros.org/independent/api/rosinstall/html/>_, which are frequently used in ROS.
This should not be confused with vcstool (no trailing s), which provides the vcs command line tool and is otherwise unrelated to this repository, see: https://github.com/dirk-thomas/vcstool
