Many uses of arch are where one tracks someone else's sources without
modifying them. Either just keeping up with development or using own
branch for changes. In such cases, update and replay are equivalent.

(Since you use update as often as replay and I only use replay,
that results in replay being used more often on average ;-D ).

I would like yo see all of them too. Since they are almost the same --
just find the trees and call appropriate command upon each, it shouldn't
be hard.
