_yes it is_.  The only issue in preserving history is in pruning branches.
 There is no point preserving versions that are not ancestors of current
versions.  And that's an easy process.  I have code that does this and
Camillo just rewrote source condensing for Pharo and claims its much more
comprehensible, so taking his code and getting it to preserve history while
pruning could be another route.
