what is the high-level concept/rule involved behind this behavior? I
know I would be unable to commit changes in a working tree I get from
the mirror, but I thought I could simply check out a working tree to
look at it. should I just shut up and make my local archive and start
tagging? :)
The concept is: the real name should always be used except when using
the archive-mirror command.
$FOO is an archive you can get from. It may or may not be a mirror.
If $FOO is a mirror, $FOO-SOURCE is the upstream archive that you'll use
to update $FOO. If you want to create a remote mirror, $FOO-MIRROR is
the remote mirror, and $FOO is the archive you'll use to update $FOO-MIRROR.
I'm aware that this is messy, and in fact we hope to move to a different
way of identifying mirrors in baz.
