I've come to like an alternate solution to handle boolean options:

    checkonly=false
    while getopts ...; do
        case "${OPT}" in
            C)  checkonly=true;;
        esac
    done

Which allows to write nicer conditions:

    if ${checkonly}; then
        ...
    fi

Incorrect use of exit. The script has a 'set -e' at the beginning, so a
command that exits in error will cause the script to abort. So, if the
script reaches the exit clause, it means the call to _hg did not fail.
Ditto the other backends, of course.

Also, I think it always makes sense to check that the revision exists,
even if doing the actual download: it allows for a fastpath even in case
the user wants to do the actual download anyway:

    if ! _hg identify ${verbose} "${@}" --rev "'${cset}'" "'${uri}'" > /dev/null; then
        printf 'error blabla no such revision blabla\n'
        exit 1
    fi
    if ${checkonly}; then exit 0; fi

Note that we did use to have a similar test with git, but it was nt
reliable (i.e. old git servers and/or configuration of git server that
did not behave when ls-remote was fed some forms of refs, like a sha1 or
susch)
