I disagree. I'm much more capable of remembering 
tla archive-mirror address@hidden \
  address@hidden

Rather than 
tla archive-mirror address@hidden \
  address@hidden/home/jblack/archives/address@hidden


And actually, with a hook script like the following, I don't need to 
remember either of them. :) 

#!/bin/sh

if [ -e /home/jblack/NOHOOK ]; then
  echo "Not hooking because of NOHOOK";
  exit 0;
fi

case "$1" in
  commit)
    case "$ARCH_ARCHIVE" in
      address@hidden)
        address@hidden
        tla archive-mirror $ARCH_ARCHIVE > /dev/null &
        tla archive-mirror $ARCH_ARCHIVE $MIR2 > /dev/null &
      ;;
    esac
  ;;
esac


Meh. Why is it both perl and python both refuse to have switch
statements? That is _so_ braindamaged.
