nvm.cvssync.candidates was merged? When did that happen? Thomas Moschny
and I came to the conclusion recently not to merge this branch too soon
to nvm before the additional test failures I added are not fixed. They
deal with the fact that a new revision given to put_revision is not
checked for consistency, i.e. if all fileids are actually already part
of the db. Also, if an incomplete revision is given (f.e. the revision
contains a patch file reference with a not existing parent directory),
put_revision fails with ugly invariant errors.

This looks good to me.

The SuSE 9.3 buildbot with gcc-3.3 [0] and I guess a few other gcc-3.3
bots still make problem with some recent code change. Unless we want to
drop support for gcc-3.3 with 0.33 one may look into fixing these things
before the release. Unfortunately its beyond my C++ knowledge what is
wrong there.
