However it would be beneficial if some archive operation could be undone. I.e. "tag" and "import", and even the last "commit" may be undone in a certain period of time (one hour or one day). The mirror process should be trivially fixed to support this, i.e. revalidate the latest additions. This would allow to make "--setup" the default for "tag" and "import".
