It seems to me that arch has conflated two use cases: 1) committing work to an archive 2) publishing committed results to the rest of the universe Not being an arch developer I can wave my hands and imagine decomposing commit into two distinct operations. Consistency of mirrors would be achieved by having the code pulling a mirror copy harvest only published changes. (Ideally a user updating a mirror could query some volatile/ephemeral state to discover the existence committed-but-not-yet-published work.) This would provide a well defined notion of what changes can be undone and which only be reversed. /john -----Original Message----- From: gnu-arch-dev-bounces@lists.seyza.com [mailto:gnu-arch-dev-bounces@lists.seyza.com]On Behalf Of Matthieu Moy Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 6:27 PM To: John Arbash Meinel Cc: gnu-arch-users@gnu.org; GNU Arch Developers; Kevin Geiss Subject: Re: [GNU-arch-dev] Re: [Gnu-arch-users] how to fix a bad log message?

You'll also get inconsistent behaviours if anyone on earth made a mirror of your archive, or used Xtla's log library, or ... Well ...
