You have a small Data.fs that works, and it makes zope hang when converted to a DirectoryStorage? If you can email me a copy of the Data.fs and tarball of the storage to [email protected], I will see if I can reproduce.

Have you any clue about where it is hanging?

Im not aware of any code to do that, but it wouldnt be hard. The Full.py history method has all the logic needed for traversing the storage, and FileStorage has a 'restore' method which can be used to insert the data. The only tricky part is that DirectoryStorage history is linked starting with recent history but FileStorage.restore wants old history first, so you need to reverse the transaction order.
