Fine with me.

I did notice an interesting quirk just now, fetching from Matt's
depot; I fetched just from it, without doing a full fetch.  And
because I hadn't fetched from www.off.net for a few days, I didn't
have 5c7614b9a281dade7383a1af9cc550367f806157 in my depot.  Matt's
changes were based off of 5c7614b9a281dade7383a1af9cc550367f806157, so
I ended up with a fragmented revision tree.

This is related to the problems we solved earlier by using multiple
redundant ancestry certs (though now that I think about it, I'm not
entirely sure the solution always works when there are more than two
depots and someone is fetching from some subset: say you have A1 -> B1
-> C1 -> A2, and I am only fetching from depots A and B, won't I end
up seeing A1 -> A2, A1 -> B1?).  This problem is different, though,
because it only applies to the starting of new depots.  I'm not sure
if there's a good solution?
