I know I haven't posted much here recently. But let me add to this
thread - I completely agree with Tom on this...
I think that removing corrupt revlib entries is a profoundly bad idea,
there are way to many things that can go wrong when removing it (and
renaming before rm_rf only mitigates, it does not remove those things),
let alone the lack of ability to diagnose something that should be
extremely rare (IME folk rarely move revlibs around - I only recall two
users that have done that; compare with folk moving pristines around,
copying trees, scping them etc - those I was hearing complaints on
near-daily at one point).
