My guess is that he branched from a remote repository, and "baz commit"
is trying to generate the complete ancestry for the branch. That
requires connecting to the old archive.

I think there was a bug at one point where when trying to create the
ancestry, baz did not consider the fact that the ancestry was already
generated at an earlier stage. (Say patch-50 has +ancestry.gz, but 51
does not (generated by tla) it would be nice if 52 could realize that 50
exists, and not have to do the rest of the back-tracking.)
