Locality on disk, such that commonly the certs that you want to
request are close together (and so more efficient to read).

I guess lumping certs associated with a revision together might be
good, but maybe not---maybe you want certs for a particular branch
close together, and that that's much more important.

I forget how drh suggested this could be done, but he did give some
advice on the ml.
