I also suggest this ;-)

Using a greedy and sparse revision library in a local disk (even /tmp
if you like) would solve the problem.

cd /home/gudrun/albert/tla/common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917/{arch}/
cd ++pristine-trees/unlocked/common-lisp-math/common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order/
cd common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917/address@hidden/
rm -rf common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917--base-0

The pristine tree is the last committed version. It's kept in the
{arch} directory or in your revlib to allow you to commit without
"get"-ing it again, but it's safe to delete it since you can
reconstruct it from the archive. (well, tla will do it automatically).
