My sysadmin was a bit angry while reinstalling my machine (with a
newer distro), since I didn't delete my revlib before that, and the
backup+restore of the 2 or 3 Gb of revlib I had took several hours.

He would have been even more angry if I told him how long it took to
rm -fr */ the revision library (because backup+restore had invalidated
my inode signature)...
