Better

  mv revision ,,to-be-deleted
  rm -fr ,,to-be-deleted

since rmrf_file isn't atomic AFAIK, and a concurrent process might try
to access the revlib at the same time.

Also, this should give a warning message (I like the fact that baz
explains why the inode sig failed) so that the user can understand
what happens, and potentially solve the problem.
