It looks like one way around the write-through mirrors issue, which is 
why I'm trying it out.  Unfortunately, I get:
address@hidden:~/aba-tlacontrib$ tla commit 
address@hidden/tlacontrib--aba--1.2
commit: tree has no patch log for version
    tree: /home/abentley/aba-tlacontrib
    version: address@hidden/tlacontrib--aba--1.2

So it looks like a script-based solution would have to make temporary 
changes to the archive registry.  Not my favourite approach.  A 
tla-based solution could either a) enable the script-based approach, or 
b) implement a new archive type.
