I would really like this type of feature from a git or hg. One of my concerns about the state of version control is the sub par handling of binary files. Git works well for the intended use case of the strictly text projects such as the linux kernel etc. but not as good for complex multimedia applications with changes to binary files being common. I guess I could do a repack often but it would be nice for a version control system to handle these files better. I know it's a pipe dream right now but one can hope. Edit: I guess I should say I was referring to open source DVCS and not the commercial stuff like perforce.
