That also makes some potential sense. Again -- it would be a
needlessly bloated (and additionally fragile and, due to BDB logs
awkward) implementation of delta-compressed revlib storage -- but at
least a demonstration of concept.
No, I meant something different. Roughly speaking, a system where
"between arch commits" you have a system that feels more or less like
CVS (file rather than changeset oriented) and "at arch commits" just
summarizes a collection of those CVS-like commits as a changeset.
Rather like emacs backup files on steroids.
(Note that I'm not endorsing the idea or pining for it myself. I
just meant to point out the correlation between this old idea and
recently mentioned comparison to BK. It might have resonated with
someone as "yes, that's exactly what I want.")
