What would be the point of this? Once you have a version (revision)
you can just bind the subtree where you want it. I don't see the
point in having this special switching code inside hgfs. Plan 9
provides the necessary functionality.

Somebody would have to write the code, right now hgfs is read-only.
I don't know how hard it would be. Are you offering?
