Not so. You can have rev-libs without any need to hardlink the working
trees against them. The importat thing is to have revision libraries. If
you manage large projects (linux kernel, gcc, [x]emacs) then you MAY want
to save space and speed up things using hardlinks. But don't be confused
they are not mandatory, not at all, they are a convenient feature.
What should be mandatory is to have a default revlib, that what I advocate
for. This way we can rip off pristine trees.

Ditto.
