-I was having problems with `python test.py bugdir` with the Arch
-backend. Commits were failing with `archive not registered'.
-
-Adding some trace information to arch.Arch._rcs_init() and
-._rcs_cleanup() (the traceback module is great :p), I found
-that the problem was coming from bugdir.BugDir.guess_rcs().
-
-The Arch backend deletes any auto-created archives when it is cleaned
-up (RCS.__del__ -> RCS.cleanup -> Arch._rcs_cleanup). This means that
-whatever instance is used to init the archive in guess_rcs() must be
-kept around. I had been doing:
- * installed_rcs() -> Arch-instance-A
- * Arch-instance-A.init()
- * store Arch-instnance-A.name as bugdir.rcs_name
- * future calls to bugdir.rcs get new instance Arch-instance-B
- * eventually Arch-instance-A cleaned up
- * archive dissapears & tests crash
-
-I switched things around so .rcs is the `master attribute' and
-.rcs_name follows it. Now just save whichever rcs you used to init
-your archive as .rcs.
-
-In order to implement the fix, I had to tweak the memory/file-system
-interaction a bit. Instead of saving the settings *every*time* a
-setting_property changed, we now save only if the .be file exists.
-This file serves as a 'file-system-bugdir-active' flag. Before it is
-created (e.g., by a .save()), the BugDir lives purely in memory, and
-can freely go about configuring .rcs, .rcs_name, etc until it get's
-to the point where it's ready to go to disk.
