Ok. I can give you spork (I'll use tla diverge). But now you owe me a
favor. Some day, you'll have to do something for me that may seem...
unpleasant.
I was hoping to use it for the following:
tla get address@hidden/tla--devo tlt && cd tlt
<hack hack hack>
[vi `tla make-log`]
tla --spork [qualified version] [-L "Log message"]
which performs:
1. tla undo
2. tla tag -S address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3
3. tla join-branch address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3
4. tla set-tree-version address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3
5. tla redo
6. tla commit
I'd hate to give up the word for something that could really be used
today for something else that might happen in six months.
