I have an old venti (/bin/venti/venti is dated November 2003) whose
bits I would like to transfer elsewhere as part of an upgrade.

Because I'm paranoid I checked the venti index information available
from http://127.1:8000/index against the output of rdarena and was
disturbed to find that rdarena was seeing 423 fewer clumps than
venti knew about.  I tried venti/sync (followed by waiting) and
also issuing "venti" on the fossil console to hang up and redial
its connection, all to no avail.

Then I read about the "clump info not on disk" issue discussed
in <http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2004-September/037962.html>.

Sure enough, rebooting my fossi/venti machine caused the "missing"
clumps to be visible to rdarena.

Has venti been changed so that venti/sync forces the clump information
out to disk?  Should a warning be added to the ventiaux manual
page, at least for people running old code?
