Good idea, thanks! I think it can be used on LAN without problems.

But my current project expect communication with remote server over Internet.
One issue is that nobody allows us to run samba on this server and another 
I'm afraid work with such archive will be very slow. 
Let say win user did "tla update" before committing his patch and his tree was 
updated. After that he has to Build project to verify that its working (its a 
C++ project so everything should be recompiled after update). As we compile 
it with Windows compiler it can't be done on server so all files required for 
compilation and compilation results will be transferred over the Net.
