If you look a little bit closer into camlistore, you'll see that it splits content with content-defined chunking, ie when there's a change in the middle of the file only this zone (camlistore targets 8kB) is really added to camlistore; there's an indirection between the file as an object and the actual content. That means that hundreds (or even thousands) of slight changes to the same big file won't change much.
Regarding misclicks, for camlistore everything is private by default; in order to make something public you have to build an authorization, which you give to someone. You also have the possibility to remove that authorization, and the data won't be publicly accessible anymore.

That doesn't address the issue: any compressed content (and raw files are losslessly compressed) tends to really break rolling hash type splitting systems.
