You are lucky if you didn't see a version of 1000 revisions without a
single cacherev. I did it not once when monitored different archzoom
setups on the net (tla performance is horrible in this case indeed).

In any case, it is irrelevant whether your revlib grows to 1000 revisions
after one "get", or after several more tla operations. What is important
is that it will surelly grow one day. If you actually use tla, of course.
