Summary:  multi-path revision libraries and new hook "cached-revision"

Original Submission:  As discussed, as a first step to farewell the inefficient 
pristine trees, we needed multi-path revision libraries and a way to create 
them on demand in an ad-hoc directory.



With sparse revision libraries and the possibility of specifying a path for the 
library commands, the only part missing was how to create and retrieve the 
revision form the desired tree. My choice has been to:

-add a way to exchange information with the hook script via fd 3; the hook 
script can return whatever it need via this fd and the hooks can use as they 
need or just ignore it.

-create a `cached-revision' hook that uses this information to look in the 
returned path for the revision, instead of the default library.



This is implemented in:

address@hidden/tla--devo--1.1--patch-7

address@hidden/tla--devo--1.1--patch-8



A complete description will be posted to the arch-users list.
