Here's a microbranch that will disable inode checks on revision 
libraries and pristines.  It also disables the --link option of "get" 
and "changes", since they often cause library corruption.

I should point out that using this branch will void your warranty.  I 
should also point out that you have no warranty anyway.

Finally, this is a Free Software project, and part of that freedom is 
the ability to control how your tools work.  The change in question is 
not difficult to make.  Lobbying volunteers to make the changes you want 
doesn't seem a very nice way to operate.
