I think optional/compressed textbases really deserve this warning as well.
We need to make the poor student aware of that the assumption of
having a text base available is spread over many places in the WC.

If the abesnt flag works reasonably well today, I think adding support
for nonrecursive checkouts that actually works should be a *msaller*
task.
