Scrap that one, my latest assessment is that I won't need a flag bit anyway
(hehe), IF we get generaldelta into the bundle format. Then we can actually
break chains, by setting base = nullnode, and this is enough for me to
detect the need for unpacking. But we'll see soon enough.

Benoit and I discussed wether to pass on repo itself, or something simpler
like a lambda or simply the file() method. It's not very important IMO, as
it is an implementation detail that can be changed at any time. I personally
vote for passing in repo, for simplicity. As far as garbage collection goes,
it shouldn't make a difference either way. Benoit voted for passing in the
method.
