Well, not exactly like that; tla inventory doesn't list deleted files.

Maybe like this, though:

owd=$(cwd)
cd $(tla library-find $(tla logs -f|tail -n 1))
for i in $(tla inventory -s); do if [ ! -f $owd/$i ]; then cp -p $i 
$owd/$i; fi; done

Of course, the original Arch implementation was a far more sophisticated 
Shell programming effort.
