I'm not sure if "goes through all of your archives" means "goes through 
all archives that you control" or "goes through all archives you have 
registered".

It would, obviously, be very slow to go through all remote archives.

To do it locally, one could use the revision library instead of the 
archive, deriving info from log files.  This is a bit less reliable, but 
probably adequate to the purpose.  And much, much faster.
