ZIP files in working tree

[Martin Pool]

There seem to be two paths here:

1- the bzr committed trees consists of all the unpacked files, but in
the working tree they're assembled into a zip

2- the bzr committed tree holds the zip but when you merge, diff, etc
that's applied to unpacked contents of the zip

Jelmer seems to be looking mostly into the second but the first would
be possible using something like the view code.  Jelmer's right that
this would potentially make wt operations slow, but perhaps not
infeasibly slow - you can get some stat-like information from the zip
directory.  (Perhaps not enough.)  If you got one of these things
without having the plugin you would just get a bunch of files.

Before going too far into it I'd want to be sure the apps are not too
fussy about the zip file: if it can be read as a zip but has special
rules about how it is written this might be hard.
