Sorry. As a theoretician, I am fully satisfied with your answer (I didn't really expect the other one). As a practician, I would however wish Tom to rethink this and allow the users to take the consequences wish they so. But even if we leave the undo idea alone, and let the user just tweak the archive manually to cleanup some unintentional tags/commits, the question still remains. Many think that archive-setup and make-* commands are redundant. So maybe remove them and rename --setup to --yes-I-confirm-it?
