Indeed, this is the only real thing we can do, and it's a big "hunka"
server work, as you said. Specifically, it's a big hunka filesystem
work.

The client sends a tree-delta devoid of text-deltas; this tree-delta
gives a root revision #, and then "replaces" any file or dir which is
at a *different* revision #.

The filesystem then builds a mini-node-tree, floating in space, which
is a model of the working copy. The filesystem then compares this
tree to the "head" tree, and sends back a custom tree-delta.

Does everyone agree on this model now?
