Dunno about the branch (I don't take that active an interest in GNU
Arch's development), the only real issue I can see is the repository
size.  Arch repositories can get really big :-(   Maybe this whole
problem will spur someone to write something better.

It's a bit of a brain-strain if you're used to the CVS/Subversion
model of source control (even more so if you've only ever used
something god-aweful like Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe).
