    \inqmlmodule QbsModules
    \since Qbs 1.10

    \brief Provides support for version control systems.

    The \c vcs module provides the current state of the project's repository via
    the \l{vcs::}{repoState} property. By default, a \c C header is also
    generated, allowing for simple retrieval of the repository state directly
    from within your C/C++ sources. This is useful to embed information into
    binaries about the exact state of the repository from which they were built.

    For example:

    \code
    #include <vcs-repo-state.h>
    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
        std::cout << "I was built from " << VCS_REPO_STATE << std::endl;
    }
    \endcode

    Above, a header file called \c{vcs-repo-state.h} is created, defining a
    macro called \c VCS_REPO_STATE, which expands to a character constant
    describing the current state of the repository. For Git, this would be the
    current HEAD's commit hash.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string vcs::headerFileName

    The name of the C header file to be created.

    Set this to \c undefined if you do not want a header file to be generated.

    \defaultvalue \c{"vcs-repo-state.h"}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string vcs::repoDir

    The root directory of the repository.

    \defaultvalue The top-level project directory (\l{Project::sourceDirectory}
    {project.sourceDirectory}).
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string vcs::repoState

    The current state of the repository.

    For example, in Git this is the commit hash of the current HEAD.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string vcs::toolFilePath

    Set this property if the tool has an unusual name in your local
    installation, or if it is located in a directory that is not in the build
    environment's \c PATH.

    \defaultvalue The file name of the version control tool corresponding to
    \l{vcs::type}{type}.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string vcs::type

    The version control system used in the project.

    Currently, the supported values are \c{"git"} and \c{"svn"}.

    \defaultvalue auto-detected
*/
