Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Unable to 'tla get' from public mirror -- PANIC: I/O error

[Aaron Bentley]

One solution would be for get to use the official name, and succeed. 
Another would be for it to note the name mismatch and fail.  I think the 
second is probably better, because after you fixed 'get', there'd be a 
plethora of other commands to fix, and after you fixed all the commands, 
the payoff would be quite small.  Having get fail with a clearer error 
"Cannot use foo because it is registered with the wrong name.  Please 
register it as bar" would stop people from going too far down the wrong 
path.

What do other people think?
