  13
  14Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
  15and repositories within the namespaces defined by the <archive/branch>
  16parameters suppplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
  17it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it 
  18as a merge whenever possible.

  24 - create tag objects instead of ref tags
  25 - audit shell-escaping of filenames
  26 - hide our private tags somewhere smarter
  27 - find a way to make "cat *patches | patch" safe even when patchfiles are missing newlines
