If a project does not use one of CVS,...

If a project does not use one of CVS, Subversion or GIT, the only option available is Ohloh doesn't support this project's source control system (eg: Mercurial, Darcs, etc...).

In cases like this, I think it would be useful to store the type of VCS that is used, and possibly a URI to a public repository.

This would help identify which unsupported systems are widely used (or used by important projects), which could help in deciding what is worth putting effort into.

Also, storing the public repository URIs would allow automatic enlistment after support has been added for a new VCS.
