Our source got far too big so we are looking for an solution to deal 
with it.

We had an idea to lock currnet repository, make it read only and create 
new one with packed database which contains only the last versions of 
each file in source. That would allow us to access previous versions but 
continue development with fresh, and small source database.

We cannot find way to achieve this but preserve file version numbers 
within source (if we create new repository and put new source in it, 
file version numbers are reset). Is it possible at all to preserv 
version numbers or pack database by keeping only the last version of 
each file within source?
