When the cache is being built, including when it looks for new
revisions since it was last built, it uses the repository root to
build the cache. It has to do this to be able to to discover copies.
When you are refreshing a specific revision, I am not sure if it uses
the path or the repository root, but it would not matter in either
case since it is just a specific revision(s).
