I use a remote archive with a local revlib.
Cacherevs are rarely useful for my use, but I think every version should
have basically 1 cacherev, basically caching the latest revision.
This way people doing a "get" of the head of a version don't have to apply
hundreds of patches. Cacherevs on older revisions aren't very important in
my experience.
Note that when I do a "update", I'd rather apply 20 patches than downlooad
a cacherev, but I think the backward patching algorithm had a heuristic
for that.
