I installed the version control api module but my version of PHP isn't supported:

"This module requires PHP version 5.2.* and is incompatible with PHP version 5.1.6."

What specific features of PHP 5.2 are used by this module?

Thanks

I don't know if there is anything that specifically requires 5.2. It does require PHP 5 and will make use, but might also work on 5.1 or even 5.0.

I have no problems with lowering the requirements to 5.x, but I can neither test nor will I support that configuration. You can try lowering the requirements in the versioncontrol.info file and see if you get syntax errors - if not, it might just work. I guess there's a good reason that Drupal 7 depends specifically on 5.2 and not on 5 only, so I kinda went with the same thing (just without the detail knowledge - don't know whether it's unresolved shortcomings in object orientation or just new features like PDO). If you can provide insight and testing, I'm not opposed to lowering the version dependency.
