Summary: Implement full working version of sparse libraries
Keywords: sparse libraries

Motivation
----------
Revison libraries were always generated recursively backwards, wasting time
and space. There was no way to limit it.

Generating only the requested revision should be more effective as the old
behaviour can be simulated, but you have the extra freedom of adding to
the library only the selected revisions.

Implementation
--------------
A previous revision is seeked backwards in the library and patched up to the
selected revision, keeping the maximum number of hardlinked files. optimizing
space and speed. Intermediate revisions are not kept.
