What do "Synchronicity and Bitkeeper" do?

BTW, while binary deltas would be very nice for the `ordinary' case, they
might be quite dangerous in some other cases -- I at least fairly often apply
arch changesets outside the context of just replaying branches, and while the
current behavior is not great, at least it results in consistent binary files!

I'm not saying it can't be done well, just that it's not quite a `trivial
change' (in the context of arch or anything else).
