Description

Before fetching a pristine from the server, we should check whether a pristine
of the same sha1 is present in the wc.db (implemented as of last week over
ra_serf by cmpilato).  If not, before fetching it from the server, we should
allow caches to be configured and looked up in prior to fetching from the server.

Use-case: a shared dev box would set up a memcached instance on localhost to
speed up 'svn update's during the day.  (This might effectively replace the DAV
proxy for some use-cases?)
