This is an interesting thought. Check to see the archive is mirrored. If
not, prune it from the archive, revision library, .arch-cache, etc.

But does that cover all cases? What if someone else on the same machine
points directly at an archive you classify as private but isn't?

I don't know that I'd go so far as to say ludicrous; but I agree with
the general feeling. Baz has removed the -S option from branch (the
closest equivilant to tag), and we haven't heard any reports of people
screwing up.
