Independent of implementation concerns (boy, that was easy!) I agree.
I'd also like to see that woven into sessions.  Specifically, I'd like
to check out a sub-tree to a file, take it on the road and tweak it.
Since I've got the folder in a session I would essentially have it
locked for writing.

When I got back I would replay the transactions into the main site.
