[Gnu-arch-users] Metadata retrieval method request

[Samium Gromoff]

        Wouldn`t it be good to have an additional archive meta-info record
 which would serve the purpose of specifying the type of an archive,
 i.e. whether it is a plain archive or a mirror, like this:

        bash-3.01a$ tla archive-meta-info type
        {plain,mirror}

        I didn`t have found anything giving this information in both
 the `tla help'/`tla $WHATEVER_RELEVANT -H' and the html documentation.

        Also it would be useful to know which archives this one depends on
 tagwise, per-branch:

        bash-3.01a$ tla archive-tag-dependencies -A address@hidden
        foocode--uberfeature
                address@hidden/foocode--mainline
        foocode--woot-nextgen
                address@hidden/foocode--woot

        I`m not sure this is the best way to provide this information,
 especially given that an archive could have enough tag dependencies
 for this way to be come inefficient, though.
