Well, I think we can get the same nice features without using Berkeley
DB, though it would be interesting to see if my ideas are a net
performance win or lose. Regardless, that's definitely post-1.0.

Yes, good point. That raises the question of whether NFS flaws tend to
manifest only when different client machines are accessing the
filesystem. I don't know enough about NFS implementations to be sure
one way or the other.
(Seems a little odd to put the repository on an NFS server and then only
access it from one client, but I can imagine reasons to do that, such as
wanting to have a single backup system.)
