That would be good, because I need one. I'm working on a survey paper on VCSes. It includes analyses of all the major ones. Each analysis includes a sample session intended to illustrate typical workflow. I have not been able to make Arch work well enough to finish my sample session. I need help from someone who has mastered its horrifying intricacies. -- Eric S. Raymond Love your country, but never trust its government. -- Robert A. Heinlein.
