Speaking of which...

Is there anything preventing[1] arch from having a CVSROOT-like
environment variable to override all assumptions based on 'my-default-
archive'?

Certainly it could help both old and new people alike, particularly
those who might have multiple shells working on multiple projects in
(you guessed it) multiple archives.

Or am I just rehashing an old idea that was already tossed out for some
reason?  Would two 'defaults' be too cluttered?
