Yes, please! I have a couple of similar scripts just for setting up
basic repos for testing, and they're extremely useful. This is also an
area where people can contribute if they don't know Python but are
familiar with a particular VC system. Scripts to get things into an
'interesting' state are always handy.

For now, I think a new top-level test folder with VC stuff in it would be fine.
