there are lots of ways to do this, but a particular senerio would be helpful.
for example, if you wanted to pull only up to date x, then you could just edit
the log and delete entries that come later. you can always mount sourcesdump
and either copy or mount what you'd like if you have a problem with a particular
package.

The scenario being, I want to test my hypothetical replica/applylog
action parser / diff generator. I run pull, which grabs stuff, but
I've made changes to xyz.c and that file doesn't get modified because
of local changes. So I want to roll back my log so I can run pull
again with -s /sys/src/cmd/xyz.c
This wouldn't be an issue if we added a '*' option to replica/pull for
the -c and -s flags. But I'll send a patch for that shortly and see if
that gets committed.
