Me, too. But I'm reminded when I am explaining to coworkers and they
consistently get puzzled or lapse into blank stare at predictable
places. This is one of those.
"symbolic link" seems to turn the lights back on, especially when they
see the output of the command:
* [archive1]/cat--branch--1.0 => [archive2]/cat--main--1.0
The more I think about, the more I think "link" is a painfully obvious
choice.
