Whilst I don't want that magic functionality.... I've nothing against
it. IMO it'd be better for
aba auto-register foobar && tla get foobar 
or even
tla get $(aba auto-register
address@hidden/tlasrc--local--1.2)
to stay working though...

as that way the rhs in the first example, or the lhs for the second
example can be switched for tla grab, config-manager build etc etc etc.

Note that asuffield wrote a similar archive location script.

Thats not quite what I was saying, although it definately true. What I
was saying is that grab (translate a url to a fqdp) and config (list a
series of partially qualified dev paths + disk relative paths) files are
not related at all to the manner in which a dev path is translated to a
physical location.
