Do not get me wrong, the old code _did_ allow hardlinks to cross
tag and archive boundaries when building a revlib, didn't it?

Not exactly, it removes everything but base-0, patch-*0, version-0,
versionfix-*0 and the last revision in the library. I'm wondering why
nobody has come up with that before...

Actually, I have not even tried to...
In fact I'm already getting frustrated with tlash. I tried to talk
Rob Weir into releasing his python shell stuff, so I spend less
time in dead-end sh-scripting, but he just ended saying "I'm a wuss,
I'll reimplement all of aba before releasing"...
Maybe I'll give a shot at that vim problem tonight.
