I've been trying this out on a fresh set of archives by simply working
through the tutorial again.  It seemed to do everything correctly up to a
point.  It even appeared to correctly create a local mirror of an archive.
Where I am running into a failure is at the point in the tutorial where
"Alice" is updating her working directory in preparation for a commit.  This
is on 

http://regexps.srparish.net/tutorial-tla/update-commit.html

The tutorial shows the following commands:

% cd ~/wd
% tla update --in-place hello-world-Alice

This must be modified to
% cd ~/wd/hello-world-Alice
% tla update

When doing the update, I get the following output

* setting aside local changes temporarily
* linting the source tree
* reverting changes
* updating for new patches in archive
* finding or making hello-world--mainline--0.1--patch-1
* build reference tree for
address@hidden/hello-world--mainline--0.1--patch-1
* from import revision:

Any suggestions?
