Pristines are just like a local revision library, but inside the
project tree, not hardlinkable, and generally floating (one pristine
that changes with the patchlevel) IIRC.

If you want to compare a tree -- which you have to do every undo, changes,
commit, update, etc. -- you need something to compare it against.

If you have a revision library with the correct revision, it uses that.
If your revlib is set greedy, it adds the revision to the revlib and
uses that.

Otherwise, you need a pristine tree.

Are they automatically generated?  Yes.  Can they be deleted?  You
betcha.  Would you want to delete and regenerate them *every changeset
operation*?  Heck no.
