Thank you for the opened door, Jeff :-)

I've been mulling revision control (actually, strictly source control,
I have little interest in patching binaries, no matter what old tin can
they are fitted with[1]) and one novel idea that keeps nagging me without
quite settling in my head is the use of Plan 9's "proto" to record at
least part of the history.  Is this entirely original of me?  Is it
totally insane, or is there perceived merit in what my subconscious
keeps shouting at me?
