	Although I've wrapped it in shell scripts, I typically run 
archive-mirror several times a day.  It serves two primary functions 
for me:

        1) backups
        2) faster/more reliable access

	Basically, for every archive I've got, there are at least four 
mirrors... maybe up to six or so.  It would take quite a conspiracy for 
me not to be able to check out a tree.

	For any project I want to track, I'd typically rather just mirror the 
thing and track it, doing checkouts and updates from my local mirror.
