I know of no systems built around that sort of technology. Might I suggest considering PRCS[1], wich has, among other things that you might say it lacks, the power of the `prcs execute` command? It is not automatically doing magic, but from what I have seen and used, its possibilities are largely unexplored. As for comments, it virtually kills RCSs file version comments, and instead allows a checkin to be annotated in "versions" (a project's control file). At first I had been missing the comments per file, but no longer, since the "version", or well defined parts thereof, can actually serve as a kind of hyperlinkable document. Some things could be automated (using the PRCS shell and/or programming interface), but for now I get away with discipline.
