"[PATCH] Sketch of per-user/per-wc config for pristines-mode"
The #SVN-525 feature (aka WCs without pristines, pristines-on-demand, bare-WCs)
needs a per-WC configuration capability.
The thread linked above sketches one way of going about such a configuration.
Other ways are possible too.
This is not strictly needed for the first release or "minimum viable product"
(MVP) of the #525 feature, as the feature can be activated by upgrading the
selected WCs to 1.15 format and will default to remaining disabled for other
WCs.
It MIGHT be good to add the low level flagging mechanism now, because that
might help any future new WC capability to co-exist in a 1.15 format WC.
Otherwise any such new capability would have to assume that pristines-on-demand
is always enabled in a 1.15 format WC, and so have to bump to another new
format to make it optional. It is not clear which would be more effort.
