One question springs to my mind: On a regular basis the non-free parts aren't distributable, at all. How would you address that in a complete VCS history? Just because the recent checkout doesn't have the files doesn't mean they are stored in either the upstream branch directly or at least in historical commits that aren't too hard to check out.
