Well, given that you don't seem to understand how tla file-ids are supposed
to work, it didn't surprise me that you've mixed up other concepts while
you were at it.

I could see how this could be used on a commit rather than a get, but it
would have to be a one-shot expansion.  A file-id is useless if it changes
with every commit.
