BitTorrent RA layer

Hi all,

I've recently been contemplating implementing an RA layer using the
bittorrent protocol in order to speed up large repository checkouts.

The primary impetus for this feature is to get a large development group,
geographically colocated up and running quickly. The code base is large
(~1gb), and initial checkouts are a major pain. If we could harness peer to
peer downloads, then most of this pain goes away.

Has anyone thought about this before? How difficult would it be? Is anyone
perhaps interested in coordinating an effort to do this?
