Split revfiles?

Hi all,

I was just thinking about revfiles (the planned efficient storage
format) and remote access.

If we only support protocols that allow us to retrieve particular
sections of a file, then efficient downloading won't be a problem.  But
since revfiles have full texts every x revisions (where x is currently
25), it may make sense to start a new revfile at that point.  That way,
each sub-file is self-sufficient for the revisions it contains, and we
never need to download the whole revision history when we don't need it.
