I'm not quite sure I can follow you. Do you want to import the full repository into the image? Or would you want SystemDictionary to hold simply the version of every method that was active *before* the current version?
The first case is a no go I think. The packed repository is 101 MB big and there are still 11000 object files in addition to the pack and index file. The second case would definitely speed up the look up process but on the other hand it doesn't solve the problem that you need another mechanism in the background (like a DB) to hold further versions. Was that even close to what you wanted?
