Hmm.   I do run global diffs across major versions at times, and this 
would break that.

But, I do like the idea of checking out an older version and not getting 
duplicate files.

Again, I think the question is whether analysis of per-file historical 
detail is more important than getting ancient versions checked out cleanly.

I think we've constructed two systems which can do both, but which prefer 
one activity to the other.

I suppose it really doesn't matter a whole lot to me; as long as we can 
get back to where we started if we need to...
