Quite interesting, these are good news.

Did someone already made measurements how big the additional storage 
consumption is for incremental commits of object files, e.g. created from C++ 
source?

OK, this we observe already (Actuallay we do not use fourth top-folder, but we 
have a clear seperation of source and bin at some other level in the hierarchy)

This does not work in our situation because for some components we do not want 
to use the latest but some stable older version.
