Because the local log files provide incomplete data: specifically you
cannot determine mid branch imports (supported by the protocol, and the
larch ui, not the tla or baz uis), and cannot determine the ancestor of
a version-0 patch, without recourse to the archive.

I agree. Note that the ancestry snarfing only occurs during migration
from tla to baz - once it has as much as it can gather (and it handles
missing archives), it stops and won't dig further.
