Me too, alas.  But this thread has produced some useful knowledge:

1) The proposed improvement is welcome (i.e., no one considers the current way 
of doing things to be optimal).

2) Remember to correctly handle directories that are under the control of more 
than one VCS (I do that trick sometimes myself, so I'm embarrassed I didn't 
think of it in my original followup; thanks to Richard Copley for pointing it 
out).

3) A thing looked like it might be a caching layer is actually a hook system, 
that some people are using.
