Back in the day with shell "arch", commit --continuation did not work so we
had to use a hack were we did an "arch get" of the revision we wanted to make
a new branch out of, then created the full name for the branch and imported.
With further tricks such as a trivial replay between these branches, they got
"patch log aware" of each other and we could then star-merge between them.

Now, with tla, the preferred branch method is "tag", the only example of tag
used to make a branch in the tutorial is for "Alice" making a branch of a
non-local archive. I'm using only local archives and local working dirs, and I
want to make a branch and have a whole tree working directory to play with and
commit to said branch. How do I do this now? Tag seems to operate on the
"archive" level and not giving me a new source tree working directory
identifiable as that branch.

Sorry if I have missed something obvious. Thanks.
