Changing the base address might make loading slower.

Git has filters that allow one to perform bidirectional transforms
between the data that is on disk and the data that is in the working
tree.  People have used to store openoffice files uncompressed, so that
diff works on them too.

Do Mercurial and Bazaar have anything like that?
