I realise that a lot of Darcs usage happens on Windows (ouch), but it
would be good if we could get away without a format change for Darcs
2.4.  Maybe we can do all our format-changey things in one go, for
example: packs, subdirs, compact hash filenames
<http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1591> for Darcs 2.5.

On the other hand, making the subdirectories thing work just for caches
sounds like it would be nice.  I've created a new ticket for it
http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1624

Looks like we need more information

--no-cache may be interesting
