Comment (by barry.wardell):

 What about providing the option to use a more lightweight representation
 of the source tree? For example, the relevant svn revision or git sha1,
 plus a diff containing any local changes. Such a representation would also
 make it convenient to share your exact source tree with others, as long as
 there is a straightforward way to reconstruct the source tree from the
 information.

 This would rely on the git/svn repositories remaining available so it may
 not be desirable by everyone, but it is something I would likely use.
