Hmm. Interesting. I wonder if there would be utility in making an archive-union.c implementation of archive.h that let you stack archives with partial mirrors -- perhaps updating mirrors "on demand" in some cases. Probably more trouble than it's worth but maybe not. Not sure, personally.
For mirroring a version easily, I can hack up a version-mirror script. You can use aliases to do "aba version-mirror ^integration". Is that useful to anyone?
