I'm not so sure this is a very good idea and worth the effort. Although 
a lot of VC's share some stuff, they do have their specialities, apart 
from a different command line syntax.

I don't know which way the coders of those plugins want to take, but if 
they want to add further VC operations support apart from diff 
(checkout,commit spring to my mind) I imagine that things would get more 
complicated by putting everything under one hood instead of having a 
separate plugin for each VC.

Just my 2 cents
