        OK, this is the kind of thing I was hoping for.  :)

	So, yeah, I've got an archive on a WebDAV volume somewhere and I want 
to be able to make changes in a local archive and have them go up to 
the main archive.

	It sounds like I've been looking in the wrong place.  I suppose 
conceptually, a branch is precisely what I want.

        I'll get back to doing homework.  Thanks for the pointers.
