We are not the one indexing :)
The attribute is just a hint supported by some of the possible indexers (many
have positive and negative overrides). On some filesystems the flag isn't even
supported.
Introducing a second tmp directory to create pristine files in (perhaps below
.svn/pristine) would allow setting the flag just for the pristine files.
I'm not sure if that really requires a format bump... We could just clean it
like .svn/tmp when there are no locks and no working queue items.
