knit does this already (or at least, it used to when I last was working
on the code). The only knits for which caching is relevant during fetch
is the inventory knit - the revision knit does not have anything other
than the index retrieved until the revisions are fetched.

I think annotations should be considered a cache, and possibly invalid -
simply because different diff() routines will generate different
annotations, so if a specific annotation style is needed one should
reannotate.
