I'm not sure that was a major feature of the BDB backend design.  A 
side-effect, sure, but not something we were banking on.  Consider the way 
branches work today.  If you copy /trunk to some branch and start committing 
on a file on the branch, that file's representation on /trunk will no longer 
be fulltext (because while it is at the tip of /trunk, it *also* is in the 
non-tip lineage of its branch location).  So, it was never the case that 
HEAD was necessarily all fulltexts.  The most recent node-revision in a line 
of history, yes, but who knows where that might be path-wise.
