I note that the lower section talks about 'base' as what-I-checked-out, but
when users use @base on the svn commandline, it means 'the pristine of what
will be committed' for locally added/replaced/... nodes. Confusing :)

I would also suggest to list 'pristine' as one of the names *not* to use
instead of the NG-BASE tree (as I said before once) -- we already have
another PRISTINE table, and in the wc.db, 'pristine' now means 'the cached
fulltext content of a file, regardless of which path_at_rev it is at and
without any metadata'. The NG-BASE references pristines and stores metadata,
so let's not start to confuse them.
