OK, for example, you could try to normalize the data structures at least to the 1 normal form:

Quote:
First normal form excludes variable repeating fields and groups
You should take out the owners and the groups in a separate structures - so you'll end up with:

Code:
users                  

uid pk
username

Code:
groups

gid pk
group

May one archive contain more than one file? So:

Code:
paths

path_id pk
path

And so on ..., the permission mask is also a candidate because of repeating data.

Then you could create the files table with all attributes referenced by the relative ids.

Why do you want a separate tables for files and versions? You could have all the information in one table: filename, path_id, uid, gid, mod_time etc.

If you need to know the most recent versions at any time, you could create a view that selects them.
