Exactly. Its doable, but not native to the API. Versioned filesystems
like that isn't yet a well known problem space, so I'd hesitate to put
in an untested solution into the stable glib APIs. At some point they
may get added though.

Of course, even if you don't use gvfs for modeling the file system you
can still reuse large parts of the gio apis. For instance stream
interfaces, the async i/o models, and the cancellation system.
