And the key article in that discussion by Peff points to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/102039 with
"I had some complaints at the time, but re-reading it I don't see
anything that would prevent us from revisiting the topic now."
Reading the patch series from 2008 again, I do agree with J6t's
comment that it should be just a regular capability, i.e. like what
Peff suggests in his comment on [PATCH 5/6 (v2)], but other than
that, I do not see anything that would prevent us from revisiting
the topic now, either.
