right now sTeam basicly has an object database written in pike using mysql as a backend storage and serializing the objects into it. (i have no clue of the details :-)
i suppose something similar would happen if the snv backend is used, but then taking advantage of svn to access older versions of objects.
yet i suspect that the way the serialization is done needs to change as right now the whole object including most metadata is serialized at once and for the history mechanism we'd need to ensure that content and metadata are handled sperately as we don't want diffs on the object serialization :-)
Any directory (or file even) can be branched individually.
ahh, that's a good thing.
