	I call that system "SourceUNSafe" because it loses data,
	it's slow, and it's hell to get files back from it. It's
	like the ultimate compaction algorithm, that compresses
	everything to the constant '1': there's no uncompress
	algorithm, but higher-level managers don't really care
	because they never use it.

	If you're willing to do so, I'll just pick certain key
	moments in time that you've labeled in SourceUNSafe and
	check those in - assuming S-UN-S will give you back those
	labels. Getting individual versions of the files, and histories,
	checked in will be most unpleasant.

	of there.
