I took a look at some things along those lines a few years
back in the context of file systems aimed at laptops where
the buffer allowed for operation when disconnected from
the main server.  It wasn't strictly tied to venti as a back-end.
There's a paper on it in the proceedings from IWP9 '09.

It would be interesting to build the same sort of thing in
the fossil-venti connection rather than in the 9P path.
