Hmm. "tag" it is. You won't be able to make a branch from it. To
get CVS's -b behavior, you can run "arx fork" and then "arx commit".
To get the -b behavior after the fact, you can run "arx get", "arx
fork --in-place", and "arx commit". That will have to be documented.
Now I just have to implement it ;)
