Sure, I didn't mean to suggest anyone should be stuck maintaining two  
repositories for a single software package.  Just that it doesn't  
seem too unreasonable to me that someone should want the main one to  
be SVK or whatever.

Yep, I'm pulling Guile into my subversion repository too, now and  
then...

I've experimented a little with the "VCP" perl package under svk;  
it's got some issues, but at first glance seems like a reasonable  
thing.  The source and destination repositories can both be of  
several types, though I don't know if it supports Arch for either  
yet.  (And there's a "vcp" program, it doesn't have to be used via svk.)
