If a no-sanity-checking option isn't viable (or is too hated), maybe we could at least look at a seriously-reduced sanity checking option? Do we really need to go three revs back?Or is there some repeated sanity checking which wouldn't be too hard to remove? (A timestamp of the last time a paranoid monotone successfully ran on a repository, or something?) That wouldn't help the initial experience of pulling from a big repository (although I guess you could have the sending repository give an assurance of sanity, if you could believe it). Hmm. Sounds hard.
I know Nathaniel's opposed to this kind of thing (and I'm broadly agreed), on the grounds that it makes the sanity-checking more complex - and that's a place we really don't need complexity. Slow sanity checking is one thing. Inadvertently broken sanity-checking... :-)
Hence my wish for a simple "turn it all off" switch. Is there, incidentally, anything that the sanity checking gives me which "db check" doesn't?
