This reminds me of when I started archiving the dump of my ken-fs
file server to venti using (a variant of) a script nemo posted here
(or made available on his web site? or sent via private mail?)
(I stopped halfway (for no real reason) and still run the ken-fs
server, but I know nemo moved from ken-fs to fossil).
The script essentially runs vac on each dump day subdirectory.
I think nemo uses a patched 9fs script to overlay the vac'ed
ken-fs dumps with the archival snapshots of the fossil
server (nemo, please correct me if I'm wrong).

I have been wondering whether it would be possible/useful to
be able to do that (insert a score into the active filesystem).
Axel.
