Why do you need to keep the source around at all (unless you are actively working on that version)? All you need is the single revision number string and you can guarantee to get exactly that source code back at any time you want, should you need it. So you should only need at most one copy of the source in your regression testing system, and when you copy the binaries, just record which revision they were built from. R.
