Unless things have changed since I discussed this on the list a while back,
it's important to note that this checks that the chunks exist in the chunk
index.  It will not detect missing segment files in the repo.

Assuming "presence of files" means check for the expected segment files,
then neither --archives-only nor --repository-only meets these requirements.

I'd be happy to learn if this is no longer correct. :)
