our proxy prevents DAV to work, so I haven't been able to find out what
"get" does (wrong) exactly...

haven't tried revision libraries either... have a look at
"pathcompress.c", on top if you have a straightforward
fix for that: the function takes an absolute path, and
determines if compression should be applied...

actually, it does work, if I remember correctly...

oops... that was compiled in by mistake... it's strange that
no-one mentionned this before. You must be the only user of my code :-)
never getting feedback made me more-or-less abandon this effort.

I'll make it depend on the environment variable "TLA_LOG".

yep. I could send you the complete directory content  with build
directories and all, so just running the remake shell script bulds
and installs tla,tar,diff,diff3,patch etc.
