Thanks!  I walk away from this understanding that repos can be naturally
out of synch even if they are on the same filesystem if they lack a
cache on their filesystem and also that darcs optimize --relink is also
helpful on hashed repositories.  This then answers the question of
whether we should keep the option around.
