Hmm.  I wonder if there might be even better ways to support this use 
case in Arch.

Is it the repository that's useful or the fact that you can commit?  It 
certainly seems conceivable to have a commit-style command that would 
transparently create a local version of the upstream branch in your 
archive on the first commit.

If it's the history that's useful, then you'd need a different kind of 
get that auto-mirrored.  Or possibly Arch Cache.
