[much helpful stuff on copying archives, consistency and locks]
Very many thanks. I've revised the the Backing up and Restoring page
accordingly, and just pasted a copy of your post into it for now,
along with a link to the comments on locking in archive-pfs.c. When I
get back from a short Easter break, I'll work it up into a practical
guide for taking and restoring from tar/rsync backups.

It'd be helpful if this command could only ever be executed whilst the
archive was in a state which made committing to it impossible. Has
tla any facility for locking the entire archive (such as effectively
can be done by touching "=meta-info/mirror", but preferably without
producing the misleading error messages that doing that would for
those who tried to commit)?
