When you copy versions, is that a "soft link", so that you don't have  
to store the file twice?  What if we made it even easier to put  
versions in more than one project at once?  Let's say, for example,  
that the repository URLs could have as many segments as you wanted,  
each with the name of a single project.  Getting the list of items in  
that repository could show the intersection of the versions in all of  
them; committing to that repository would place a copy in each.   
There should also be a way to indicate that you want the union rather  
than the intersection, so that you can have a single repository in  
your MC browser with access to many different packages - those should  
maybe be read-only.

This could pretty quickly become a useful tagging system: you might  
have a "Stable" project, for example, and crosslist your versions  
there, and then someone could go to /Seaside/Stable to only see  
stable seaside versions, etc.

The interaction of the permissions system with this gets interesting,  
but we could probably figure out some simple rules that would make it  
workable.
