Ah, so .arch-ids is in every directory?  That's what I was missing.  I 
assumed that we had .arch-ids/full/path/to/file.  Not sure why I 
assumed that.

I see what was meant by "arch droppings" being scattered through the 
tree.  OK, it's no worse than "CVS" directories everywhere, as they're 
less visible, but it makes exporting tarballs less fun.

Flip-side, tools won't notice a file being moved accidentally.  That 
one cuts both ways.
