[Anthill-pro] VCS driver modifications (2.6.x)

[Eric Minick]

Let me get back to you tomorrow after conferring with the team. A 
completely new driver is way more work than needed. At very worst, we 
should be provide a little kit for creating customized version of the 
existing driver.

The revision log parsing and command generation sound like they can stay 
the same.

For projects that don't have anything in the Branch field, you should 
see success using a working directory script to control the basic 
working directory. I think it's only branches that should be giving us 
real trouble.
