It may be delicate, but probably not more than revision libraries
already are. Furthermore, if you have the latest version of the
project in your revision library, you probably already have all those
log files in the {arch} directory of this revision. In that case, my
suggestion would just be to make hard links to those files in a place
where tla could find them quickly.
One more comment (I think I'm not the only one in this case): I have a
limited-size NFS working directory on a safe server (backed up & all),
and a very big amount of disk space on a local, unsafe, disk. Having a
big revision library in this disk is therefore not a big problem, and
at least, it's worth the benefit.
