You're right, we could also hardlink the pristine-tree, but I'm not sure
if pristine-trees are disappearing any time soon.

My plan now is to add support for spare revision libraries (it will be
ready today or tomorrow) so that you can avoid hundreds of revisions 
stored backwards, if you decide so.

I think that hardlinking the pristine-tree will be almost trivial, so this 
will be the next one. Afterwards, I'll open a discussion to see what we 
really need to cahce as we seem to have too many similar ways.
