arch seems really good, once you get past the information-devoid web page to
the manual (http://www.regexps.com/src/docs.d/arch/html/introduction.html).

I wouldn't be against giving arch a try now, because it fits really well
with us:
  * Global identities for files and revisions
  * All repositories on the 'net are conceptually one

(You can have your own local repository and merge it back with the global
one, if the global one doesn't work, if I understand correctly.)

Why, if we ever want to attach Zz data to our source files, here's a truly
good foundation for it. What it's missing seems to be xanalogical media to
link to ;-)
