Update: I just got a segfault here:
address@hidden work $ arx get --report
http://superbeast.ucsd.edu/~landry/ArX/wlandry/arx.2.1 arx
Segmentation fault
...which makes me think I might somehow be running old code that doesn't
have the fix from a couple days ago.
Yup. Looks like that's the case. As soon as I fixed it locally, I did a
fresh "get" from ~wlandry...which didn't yet have the fix :-(
The rest of my questions still stand, but please disregard the segfault.
