The VFS provides general file management.  ged provides full document
management.  Full document management isn't always needed when trying to
track versioned files, this is the advantage of using the VFS with svn.

As I have discussed with Pascal on several times, ged needs to use the
VFS to be considered a supported application within phpGW.  ged
currently uses its own homebrew versioning system, whereas if it was
using the svn vfs backend, then this would already be available.  Where
other vfs backends are in use, ged could either disable versioning or
use some homebrew system.
