Hello,
   I have created a very simple patch that removes the curly braces " 
{, }" from the archive data storage directory.

   Example-old:
   cd ~/{archives}/

   Example-new:
   cd ~/archives/

   The location of my mirror is:
   
http://www.opensourcetechnologies.net/archives/address@hidden

   Branch name is:
   arch--tutorial--1.3

Let me know if there are any questions,

P.S. This is the first time I ever tagged, changeset, apply-changeset, 
etc. so there might be mistakes all over the place. Just point them out 
(and supply a fix :) ) and I will fix it. I think I have provided enough 
information to access my mirror, if not, let me know as well. Thanks.
