[SCM-1015] Clarify difference between ScmManager and ScmProvider

[jira-importer]

Konrad Windszus opened SCM-1015 and commented

I was assuming that ScmProvider is the SPI while ScmManager is the (consumer) API. But there are some methods from ScmProvider which are not called from anywhere else (except for test code) like:

• untag
• info
• remoteinfo

Are those just missing from ScmManager (and their implementation delegating to the ScmProvider's method in AbstractScmManager) or is there no clear separation between ScmProvider and ScmManager?

At the same time some clarification on differences between ScmRepository and ScmProviderRepository would be helpful.
