Yeah, I noticed that option to 'get' and guessed that this would be the
consequence of using it. However, pristines are not good for me; at
some point (probably the cacherev + ~150 patches on top) I will need a
revlib entry because I will want multiple working copies of that
revision (or probably a continuation of it). So at _some point_ I have
to incur the pain of inserting an first revision into the library - I
may as well get it over with ASAP.

That's OK, in this case I knew which patchlevel had the cacherev on it.
Thanks for your help
