	That's not true.  You cannot, without exception, relocate any 
arbitrary file in an archive with mv, even if you know that the project 
uses tagline.

	I prefer tagline myself, but I don't really buy the ``mv'' argument 
because it cannot be made to apply to every file equally, whereas ``tla 
mv'' can.

	This is not an example of tla being easier to use.  To the contrary, 
it's an example of darcs being easier to use, in that there's only one 
way to relocate a file in any given tree.
