The cache could be populated and updated automatically just like
pristine-trees now, when the library doesn't contain a suitable
revision.

Each time arch uses a revision from the cache, it updates a time-stamp
file for this revision in the cache.

A new command like 'tla age-cache <age> <limit>' scans the cache
and removes any revision in <limit> older than <age>.
