I thin Stefan was talking about this Summer of Code project: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2007-03/0399.shtml It was in fact implemented and never released. My recollection was that a big problem was the one that Branko mentioned, that binary deltas cannot simply be applied to any revision. So you could only apply these patches to working copies that were the same or similar revision as the one that created the patch. And of course they also could not have been applied with a generic patch program either. One would need to reach through the archives for the summer and fall of 2007 to find all the details. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
