[Dev] Re: refcounted

[Andi Vajda]

Like we've discussed several times before, I have no immediate plans to 
default to refcounted.
The unit tests don't need pinning since only one view is involved in most of 
them. RepositoryTestCase.py, lines 44 and 47 is where you could also turn on 
refcounted by default.
Removing all the pinning code is at your option as well.
