Think of --no-full-inventory-at-all-costs like --link. It gives better
performance, at the expense of enabling a user to mess their project
tree or revision library respectively. But all-importantly, it prevents
archive corruption even then. And in both cases the damage isn't too
hard to revert (although, --link actually tells you it's there, unlike
my option :-( ).

My inclination would also be to fall back to a full inventory when
something "smells fishy," like you describe. But I think a range of
options including ones as dangerous as --link is desirable.
