Actually SCMs such as Arch which only have a single meta-data directory are
pretty easy to adapt to his case: just keep the meta-data directory
elsewhere and move it back to its original place (or make a symlink, it'll
probably work just as well) temporarily whenever you need to run an
SCM command.
