hi sam,

no, currently not. the difficulty hereby is, that the versionstorage
must be 'browsable' like normal content, i.e. the version nodes inside
the versionstorage must reflect the complete state of the node, from
the time it was versioned. currently,this is simply done, by using a
'normal' persistence manager, and dynamically mapping the nodes in the
workspace.
so an eventual delta can only happen on the persistence layer, or by
ciompletely replace the version manager.

if implemented, yes.

yes. basically doing an export/import.

i'm interrested, what is the usecase for your questions. i.e. what is
your estimate on how many versions of documents (in total) you will
have, and how much space is used by them? are there tousands of 1mb
documents, having hunders of versions (> 100gb), or what is the scale?

regards, toby
