It would, at the least, be a bit of metadata you could add to the  
configuration changes, in addition to the overall repository version  
(which would begin to have a bit less meaning if people are keeping  
most modules outside the main repo).

You're more talking about a three-way merge operation (current state,  
desired state, previous state), which also needs to be supported but  
(I think) is a different feature.

That'd be great.
