It should just be a matter of tla lock-revision -b with the correct
patch-level.

Is this a publicly available archive so that we can see what the current
state is?

For me, when I try to commit to a hung archive I get:

$ tla commit -s "nothing"

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "John A Meinel <john@arbash-meinel.com>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 848D0003, created 2004-02-24

Enter passphrase:
gpg: some signal caught ... exiting
Killed by signal 2.

[jameinel@Jigglypuff ~/dev/libzip]
$ tla commit -s "nothing"
arch_commit: unable to acquire revision lock (internal error in
archive-pfs.c(pfs_lock_revision))
    tree: /Users/jameinel/dev/libzip
    revision: john@arbash-meinel.com--2005/libzip--dev-stdio--0.1--patch-4

And just doing
$ tla lock-revision -b
john@arbash-meinel.com--2005/libzip--dev-stdio--0.1--patch-4

With just a copy of the "revision:" line fixes the archive.

You've done enough that I can't guarantee this will work, but it is the
general solution.

it automatically unlocks the revision. At least as of 1.1 or something
like that. But since your case involves an ssh disconnect, I think it is
still valid.
