tla/arch branches available

I've been experimenting with arch[1] as a replacement
for CVS.     Arch is a new source code management system
that provides fast and easy branching, distributed archives
and many other features.   Xouvert, emacs, MICO, 
and other projects have adopted it.

One of it's great features is that you can parallel
development branches and merge between them without
worrying to much about conflicts.   For example, 
you can have a simple bug fix branch, and a new feature
branch.  Bug fixes can be merged to the feature branch
at any time.

To that end, I have created two branches.   The first one
follow the CVS archive exactly (except that it has some
arch information in it).  The second has my patches for
the new metadata architecture (not yet complete).

I have prepared a repository on public machine to
experiment with.  If you are unfamiliar with arch,
then there is a nice tutorial on the site listed below.

If you decide to use them or have any trouble, please
let me know.  

Quick start
