the emu10k1 driver guys do something that might interest you. they keep diffs 
around for a while and only the last 2(?) full CVS snapshots. if you want to 
drop back, you just run the diffs through a reverse patch... saves a lot of 
space on their server... but still lets "us" do what we need to do
