Speaking of unrelated repository format questions, one feature that RCS lacks that would be very useful if you could put it in your system is to allow the initial revision to remain outside of the repository. The repository would just store a pointer to the original.
One could then take a base source tree on, say, a CD-ROM, and work with it, with only ones changes (plus repository overhead) actually being stored on ones hard disk.
