Yeah, arch is just So Cool! I really hope it gets adopted more widely.

Right now I have some patches and cleanups in my local trees; I haven't
sent them yet because preparing patches, splitting and cleaning them 
requires extra work. With arch this process would be much easier. 
So I hope someone soon makes an official arch archive where merge
request can be sent to. That would really rock :-)

For the time being I will maintain my arch repository. I have attached
the small script I use to replay changes from CVS into arch. I didn't use
cscvs because I wanted to use taglines (really useful with all the file
moving).
Syncing the other way round (arch->cvs) is not done yet, but shouldn't
be too difficult; only the taglines need to be filtered out.
