So? That's a bug in the current implementation, isn't it? Not in the
basic idea.

Exactly! Except I think it should return canonicalized absolute
paths; it's bloody annoying to save such a return value and then do a
cd (perhaps implicitly, say by switching buffers in Emacs) and get the
wrong thing. And "tla tree-root" could be deprecated in favor of
$ tla tree-special-file ..
:-)
I think it would also be useful to have "tla meta-data", which takes
the same arguments (ie, file names) but gets their contents. In both
cases, with the --user flag, it would look in ~/.arch-params, not in
`tla tree-root`/{arch}. The default would be the --tree flag. Ie,
$ tla special-file --tree =tagging-method
/home/steve/wd/dists--devo--1.0--patch-2/src/tla/{arch}/=tagging-method
$ tla meta-data --user =default-archive
address@hidden
$
'Course, this would piss off the zsh users no end if we deprecated the
equivalent direct commands at the same time.
