I should say that I am not in favour of *storing* daily snapshots,
merely making them. I'd expect to have
(eg) latest.tar.bz2 symnlinked to source-$DATE.tar.bz2 (which would not
be recreated unless a file
changed).
I am afraid I personally cannot see much value in these ideas of
computer archaeology! the yearly snapshots in texlive
are more than enough in my book; plus you have the Perforce database if
anyone brings up lawyers.
