So you could (lots of arm waving here) implement lib_wc using [a
possibly stripped down form of] lib_fsfs - one that only keeps 'N'
active revisions and tracks the central repository's revnums in local
properties. And which relies on checksums more heavily to determine
whether a file has been modified (since you can't just stat the
text-base).

Cool!
