If you even consider this, please make it optional. I have a very strong 
preference for plain files over binary database blobs. I will sacrifice 
disk space. I will sacrifice speed. The simplicity, clarity, and 
recoverability of plain files are all worth it to me.

The biggest reason I switched from monotone to darcs was because 
monotone uses a database to store its patches, which was a) unreliable 
[in a pre-beta version], and b) required an executable on the server.
