	I was under the impression that there was a patch that would make arch 
ignore stuff that wasn't explicitly added.  This seems desirable, as I 
like to leave junk around in build trees when I'm doing stuff 
(disposable test scripts, output, sample input, etc...).

	That's kind of interesting.  It seems a little abusive to the branch 
concept, but it could work.

	I realize it sounds a strange that I'm considering a language a 
category, but a lot of what I end up with is either sample code or 
little tiny apps that are too small to be their own projects, and I 
like to keep those categorized.
