Out of curiosity, if 3.0 (native) supported multiple tarballs, wouldn't
it be a good solution?

The main limitation I see is that it would not allow to represent
efficiently small changes to large text files (which a git-based diff
would allow).

I'm asking because if 3.0 (native) gets more generic by allowing
non-native revisions, it might be an easier sell to introduce
multi-tarballs support, than to introduce a completely different source
format.
