How about letting the "fossil purge" command check whether
the PLINK table has the "baseid" field? So, everyone who
doesn't do a "fossil rebuild" will be prevented to do a
"fossil purge", instead a fatal saying "please do a 'fossil rebuild'
first!". The manifest_crosslink() function should only fill this
field when the "baseid" is available. So, only two places
in the code which need an additional check.
This way no-one is forced to do a "fossil rebuild", only the
people refusing that won't have the "purge" functionality.
Just a crazy idea ..... , (even I would be able to implement that .......)
