I'm sure it's Stefan's optimisations, not mine... :-)

One thing to bear in mind is that much of the caching being done now either
wasn't there or wasn't actually working as intended in earlier
versions. In particular, there is a 10 (I think) second cache of
'unversioned' directory names, which didn't used to be there. Various
other things are cached for various amounts of time.

We also examine some caches now *before* looking at things like ignore
lists, so there might be some delay there if you've just added something to
an ignore list.

There is a danger inherent in the caching that it gives you errors while
you're merely testing which don't actually cause a problem in real
life. That said, it's entirely possibly that there's some genuine case
where stale data really hangs around.

I'm struggling to pick a simple repro scenario out of the list traffic
today - if people can repro these sort of problems, could they give simple
point-by-point repros, as if explaining to a stupid child.

Cheers,

Will
