Undeltified windows use the same key as their deltified
representation; basically revision file + offset. The distinction
between deltified and un-deltified is made by the cache
instance prefix.

There is a comment in get_window_key() for this case.
"" will only be returned if we can't get the name of the
open APR file. This is virtually impossible. If it happens
anyways, it will hit the deltified window cache first, we will
report a repository corruption.

But maybe we should change the cache API definition
to support and reject NULL keys. get_window_key() could
then return simply NULL and could do with fewer assumptions.
