So, essentially, you want the developer to do part of CVS/git's job, namely keeping a history of changes in a compressed format, keeping the history forever (or almost forever). As mentioned in another post, you highly understimate the amount of data which would have to be treated this way: For every python release and many other eclass changes, almost all packages in the tree are involved, usually several times a months.
