As I mentioned on the iRC the current state of design requires someone to pull a whole history of a project even if s/he's only want to work on recent versions. This isn't really just a problem of network traffic (eg. "you don't have to worry, it only pulls the whole shebang once") but disk space too (monotone repo currently above 45MB, and it's a small project; mozilla and linux kernel were mentioned, both possessing extensive amounts of historical revisions).

Corresponding source code
This would definitely be worthwhile. The main barrier is working out a safe scheme for doing so; remember that anyone can sync with anyone else at any time, so there are really funky edge cases that come up when two people who have partial history sync with each other.
