That's a neat point.  Most of my Java projects use 3rd party jar files,
which are compressed tar balls, more or less.  And I certainly don't
want to try to merge foolib-0.1.jar with foolib-0.2.jar when a new
version comes out; I just want to put it in CVS so that it gets tagged
and exported and so forth.  So it's not mergeable, but it is binary.  Or
something.
