Ah, yes, I think that makes #4889 a blocker.

I tried to suggest a slightly more flexible per-WC-config than just a
yes/no flag, but rather an open-ended "pristine strategy" or "pristine
storage strategy" value (of which we would now introduces two options:
"full" and "on-demand" / "lazy" / whatever) [1] [2]. But maybe that's
overdesign without having an idea about what other "pristine storage
strategies" might require in additional config details.
