`update-distributions': a new command for automatically
updating a (local) FTP distribution directory from an
archive.

`get': accepts the option `--no-pristine' which avoids making
an extra local copy of the checked out revision.  This is useful
in scripts that `get' revisions then discard them, without doing
any operations that want the cached revision.

`get': updated the comment "Need an Archive Connection" to "Ensure
an Archive Connection" so that it is the same as all the other 
programs (it is handy to be able to search for comments for
standard parts of scripts).

`build-config': added `exit 1' to a fatal error handler that lacked
it.

`indicated-revision': added support for the standard `--' option.
