That sounds like it would be annoying to keep all those changesets in a repo, 
like from 1.0 to 1.1, from 1.1 to 1.2, from 1.0 to 1.2, and on. Or are you 
designing so if 1.0 is upgraded and 1.2 is the latest version, it downloads the 
changeset to get to 1.1, then the changeset to get from 1.1 to 1.2 is 
downloaded? Either way, it ends up cluttering the repository with tons of 
changesets for ancient versions.
