No, it's not clear at all.  .arch-inventory and .arch-ids are not the same as
{arch}.

Let me put it this way: If I was allowed to choose, with all compatibility
problems magically solved, I'd choose {arch} over .arch (I'd do some things
differently, I think, but not that).  I think that subversion made a mistake
when they chose .svn.
