Sure, and it's called `update'. :-) To summarize: # Teach tla that some archive (or ``repository'') is available at URI. $ tla register-archive URI # At this point, it knows that an archive named # [EMAIL PROTECTED]' is available at URI. # From now on, you will always use this name and not the URI. # You can now get files from that archive. $ tla get [EMAIL PROTECTED]/C--B--V DIR # This retrieves the latest version of the branch C--B--V into # directory DIR. $ cd DIR # Updating the local copy, as with `cvs update': $ tla update It's not all that complicated. All you need is to be aware of certain conventions, some of which are, well, quite unusual (some might say ``weird''). ;-) Most importantly, you need to know that ``repositories'' are usually called ``archives'', and that a particular naming scheme is enforced for branch names, namely CATEGORY--BRANCH--VERSION. And yes, conventions in GNU Arch are a controversial topic. More information is available in the (slightly outdated) tutorial: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial/arch.html .
