No, I don't think that's what Stefan was asking; he means:
Why can't:
tla get METH://LONG/PATH/NAME/FINAL-COMPONENT DEST-DIR
be automatically expanded into:
tla register-archive --no-complain METH://LONG/PATH/NAME
=> ARCHIVE-NAME
tla get ARCHIVE-NAME/FINAL-COMPONENT DEST-DIR
To be honest I'm not sure; it does appear to be a basically unambiguous and
really fairly easy to implement. There's no need to worry about the
archive's actual structure, just the path to its root (the actual archive
grovelling is completely through existing tla commands).
BTW, I added the --no-complain option with the intended meaning: `if the
registration already exists, don't complain, just check to see that it
hasn't changed'.
