Any modern version control plugin for dbForge for SQL Server?

I was disappointed to see only SVN and TFS.

Both TFS and SVN require complicated SERVER setup just to create version control commits. That's so 1970s.

These days people use Git, and Mercurial. I prefer Mercurial but would take any DVCS over SVN or TFS.

I really like the idea of this product but it's crippled without a connection to a heavy-weight centralized version control system server. I sure don't want to run a TFS server instance or SVN server instance on my laptop when I'm doing SQL development.

The competing SQL version control product supports GIT but is only a version control system.

I am totally impressed by dbForge demo videos, and if it worked with Mercurial (hg) I would be so happy!

I voted for it, but I wonder why there isn't even any option to create snapshots without a server connection. Surely one could create snapshots and then revert to the last snapshot even without a version control system.
