Support for Version Control, CVS Plugin.

It would be really nice if dia would have a Checkin entry in the file menu. When selected, it should ask for a change note save the file close the file determine if the File is in CVS or RCS do a commit open the file and restore all the windows This saves many steps for everyone who has $Revision: $ strings embedded in their drawings.
Mass reassign of bugs to dia-maint@bugzilla.gnome.org.
That would break consistancy across GNOME apps. As nice as in-editor RCS is (I use it in emacs all the time), It seems odd to include it in just Dia.
I think this would be a good target for a plug-in.

gedit had a CVS plugin, you might be able to adapt it to work with Dia, or even better generalise it so that we can both share the same code.
Added HELPWANTED keyword on the off chance it might encourage outside developers to give this a shot.
