There already was an earlier attempt for this feature by Kevin Ballard,
which had issues I pointed out:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/94335/focus=94456

The patch was carried for a few weeks in 'pu' but was dropped due to lack
of follow-up updates.

Does your version address the issues Kevin's one had?
