=head1 Devel Notes
There are several places where Arch and git terminology are intermixed
and potentially confused.
The notion of a "branch" in git is approximately equivalent to
a "archive/category--branch--version" in Arch. Also, it should be noted
that the "--branch" portion of "archive/category--branch--version" is really
optional in Arch although not many people (nor tools!) seem to know this.
This means that "archive/category--version" is also a valid "branch"
in git terms.
We always refer to Arch names by their fully qualified variant (which
means the "archive" name is prefixed.
For people unfamiliar with Arch, an "archive" is the term for "repository",
and can contain multiple, unrelated branches.
