+    git archimport [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -o ] [ -a ] [ -f ] [ -T ]
+	[ -D depth] [ -t tempdir ] <archive>/<branch> [ <archive>/<branch> ]
+
+Imports a project from one or more Arch repositories. It will follow branches
+and repositories within the namespaces defined by the <archive/branch>
+parameters supplied. If it cannot find the remote branch a merge comes from
+it will just import it as a regular commit. If it can find it, it will mark it
+as a merge whenever possible.
+
+See man (1) git-archimport for more details.

+=head1 TODO
+
+ - create tag objects instead of ref tags
+ - audit shell-escaping of filenames
+ - hide our private tags somewhere smarter
+ - find a way to make "cat *patches | patch" safe even when patchfiles are missing newlines
+ - sort and apply patches by graphing ancestry relations instead of just
+   relying in dates supplied in the changeset itself.
+   tla ancestry-graph -m could be helpful here...

+
+=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.
