That's what I gathered.   It seems rather random.   It's surprising to
see this special case behavior.   Assuming I wanted to sink with a
mirror source at all, I don't see any good reason to do it revision by
revision.   Assuming that a mirror source was in a different cachedrev
state that I wanted to emulate, copying from the mirror state isn't
obviously the right way to do it.
