How would you intend to define which files were compressed?  Would you
envisage it as being repository wide (any files that are not compressed
get compressed upon next commit) or per file basis, such as adding a 'z'
optoin to -k such as -kz or -kbz.  You would also need to define a level
of compression would you not?

Would the compression/decompression add much load to the system at all, I
could imagine some large repositories it could become rather sluggish.
