[Gnu-arch-users] how to use .arch-inventory files

[Miles Bader]

I wanted to add an .arch-inventory file to the `nt/' directory of
emacs, so I can get rid of `lisp/subdirs.el' but not `nt/subdirs.el'.

I had to use the following changes to make tree-lint happy:

   D  lisp/subdirs.el
   A  nt/.arch-ids/.arch-inventory.id
   A  nt/.arch-inventory
   M  {arch}/=tagging-method

   * modified files

Does that look right?  In particular, is it expected that I use an
explicit tag (or tagline) for each .arch-inventory file?

Thanks,
