Well, consider the proposed DELTA protocol. (Instead of "server-side
composition" you can just compute the requested delta directly.)
Also consider that you can (though this may hair-up build_revision
heursitics) pretend that every revision is cacherev'ed. Fork tar to
spew the payload.... (For one thing, that would perfectly optimize a
cold `get'.)
There's other reasons outside the current protocol, too. Rapid
history of a single file? Rapid file contents for a given revision?
Server-side browser?

Well, nothing currently needs that (as contrasted with
patch_log_listing). But, yeah, big open space here for useful things
to think about.
