We use BitKeeper to manage some binaries in a separate repository from 
our codebase.  To eliminate redundant disk space usage on our shared 
volumes and to make read-only "checkouts" fast for day-to-day usage, we 
just do a "bk export" instead of a "bk clone" for normal work.  We 
rarely  make changes to the binaries so this works fine.
