Yeah.  I personally think we should make a big push towards using the
current tree archive.  my-default-archive works until you have two (or
more) personal archives.  I've unset it, since it's just not useful to
me.

Using the current tree archive could be confusing for people who have
say all of ~ in arch - like when they do a 'tla get foo--bar--0'.  But
generally I think it makes sense for the less-common operations like 
get' to essentially always be fully-qualified, compared to operations
like 'replay' and 'star-merge'.
