Scott:
I love this idea. 

I have a lot of registered archives, and I can never quite remember
which archives hold what. 


Miles:
-s isn't doable as both rbrowse and abrowse use -s to print patch logs.
Before you suggest --desc, thats taken too.  If you really don't like
verbose, how about "-p, --purpose" ? 


Charles:
As a guy that has lots of archives registered, I can say that I would
definitely use this capability. For example, I can never remember who
has cscvs archives, which archive has linux kernels in it, etc. With
archive descriptions, I can easily find the stuff that people are
"advertising".
