*nod* Thank you, it does help to have this concrete example (not, of
course, that it would have been that hard to construct, but... "cache
reality" is always a good principle).
I think the long-discussed idea of "viewspecs" (first proposed here by
David James IIRC, though of course he was just importing an idea from
other version control systems) is what we're really talking about. And
there's no reason a viewspec can't be just a versioned file (insert
appropriate hand-waving here). Which is short for "+1, but now it needs
to be designed".
