Right... I seem to recall that there is a vague plan to keep unused
pristines around for awhile in order to reuse them instead of
re-downloading, e.g., for 'svn blame' where you currently need to
download a big pile of deltas for the file you're blaming.  So the
accumulation of pristine files is intentional.  But I don't _think_
anything is currently implemented on that, so right now it's not a win.

Right ... there's not really an obvious time for such a warning to be
issued.
