To clarify: I'm /not/ advocating that we store each and every file into an SQLite BLOB. Files larger than several block sizes would be better off on disk as real files (the compressor can, e.g., buffer compressed contents up to, say, 32k, and if they become larger, spill directly into a file; otherwise, dump into a BLOB). If we don't care about shared pristine store, we don't even need a separate database, these blobs can go into wc.db (which, as Greg points out, also serves as an index). -- Brane
