I think we should keep this open a bit longer.
Specifically, the current code assumes all files are equally hard to
cache. This is bogus.
e.g.
foo.knit: not safe to cache
foo.kndx: not safe to cache
branch.conf: not safe to cache
384786864102764
384786864102764
branch-format: safe to cache
format: safe to cache
lock/*: not safe to cache.
etc.
