It's my archive, so of course I control what goes into it (the same way you'd control any files on unix). Inter-archive merging in arch is usually `pull' based, so if I wanted to merge changes from someone elses branch, I'd have to explicitly do so -- in a way it's similar to applying patches someone sends to the mailing list, just more convenient and with better record-keeping. The remote mirrors on non-GNU machines, OTOH, _are_ just mirrors; of course now that everything's signed I'd have no qualms about using them to restore the master fencepost copy if something horrible happened. -Miles -- If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
