Oh, it looks like the choice of name

  '<SHA1>.pristine'

was not discussed in that thread. Two or three of us thought that
seemed like a sensible choice of name. The other reasonable option is
to keep the old extension so that the new names would be

  '<SHA1>.svn-base'

The advantage would be that if anyone has already set up their tools to
filter out '*.svn-base' they wouldn't have to change that configuration.

Any opinions?
