Hi Richard!

Thanks for all your work on this! The patches look quite good. I have

We usually avoid negative variable names, if possible, since e.g.
NO_CVS_CACHE=no is a bit hard to understand. Can you make these
positive? Perhaps CREATE_HG_CACHE or CACHE_HG or something similar?

Did this actually fix anything or is it just for safety?
