Note that cacherevs are not so nice if your source tree is very big, because
tla's current approach is to always prefer the cacherev if present, which
can be quite absurd if you've got a two-revs-earlier version in your revlib,
and are using a dialup!

Someone was working on making tla's algorithm more optimal but I'm not sure
what the state fo that is.
