Hello,
    I have created a very simple patch that removes the curly braces " 
{, }" from the archive data storage directory.

    Example-old:
    cd ~/{archives}/

    Example-new:
    cd ~/archives/

    The location of my mirror is:
    
http://www.opensourcetechnologies.net/archives/[email protected]

    Branch name is:
    arch--tutorial--1.3

Let me know if there are any questions,

P.S. This is the first time I ever tagged, changeset, apply-changeset, 
etc. so there might be mistakes all over the place. Just point them out 
(and supply a fix :) ) and I will fix it. I think I have provided enough 
information to access my mirror, if not, let me know as well. Thanks.
