Well, the idea is that it's pretty trivial to have repair just add back the
pristine tree and remove _darcs/pristine.none. Documenting that fact somehow
should be easy as well, so you get to remove code and you do not lock out
anyone by accident.

Looking at the no-pristine code, all it does is that on every operation, it
builds up pristine.temp and uses that, removing it after the operation.

Yours,
   Petr.
