[RFC] killing versioned file.join

[Martin Pool]

All other things being equal having just one way to fetch is better than two.

Is going to data stream and back possibly going to be slower for local
fetching than just operating on the objects directly?

The general rule is that the server should be newer than the client;
at any rate it needs to understand the on-disk formats the client
uses.  So I would tend to have the client say "send me a data stream
that fits repository X" and the server should do the right annotation,
ordering, and other things.
