Alternatively (and Tom has suggested this, I think), build a revision library around something that uses xdelta (a Subversion repository seems like a suitable start), and then build an implementation of Arch around that (presumably you'd want a smart server that could construct and accept Arch patches, for example, so you could do merging using more or less existing code).
