It would be more interesting to see a version control system based on storing an abstract syntax tree and then using a pretty printer when the files are checked out. In one fell swoop you remove the code-styling wars as everyone can have their own coding style and maintain consistency with everyone else. It also gives the versioning system knowledge of the code so you can diff functionality rather than the textual representation of that functionality.
Combine an editor with the pretty printing/ASTVersioning and you have a proper integrated development environment!
