+This **EXPERIMENTAL** plugin tries to make it easy to keep your site in a version control system.
+
+**REMEMBER**, this is a first iteration, it's probably buggy, so be careful, and only use it
+if you are experienced with your VCS, ok?
+
+How to use it:
+
+1. Choose your favourite VCS between git, bzr, subversion, mercurial.
+2. Initialize the repo in your site (for example: ``git init .``)
+3. Install this plugin: ``nikola plugin -i vcs``
+4. Run ``nikola vcs``
+5. Check what happened (for example: ``git status`` and ``git log``)
+6. Use your site as usual, creating posts, adding stuff or removing it
+7. GOTO 4.
+8. You may want to add ``nikola vcs`` to your deploy commands.
+
+What it should do:
+
+1. Add a lot of stuff to the repo:
+
+   * All your posts
+   * All your pages
+   * All your galleries' images
+   * All your listings
+   * All your static files
+   * Your themes
+   * Your plugins
+   * Your conf.py
+
+2. Remove stuff if you removed it
+3. Commit stuff if you changed it
+
+What it should **NOT** do:
+
+1. Lose your data
+2. Push it anywhere (yet)
+3. Manage your output (consider ``github_deploy`` would not like it!)
+
+Please report anything missing, or any ideas on how to improve this, where you want this to go
+by [filing issues](https://github.com/getnikola/plugins/issues).
