Re: [PATCH] archive: re-allow HEAD:Documentation on a remote invocation

For a maint release, I am OK with that. In the long term, I'd rather my
patches go onto master (either for 1.7.9 or for later), as I think they
are the right way to do it.

I would prefer not to use it in 1.7.9, as CMN's patch will make its only
immediate user disappear. I think we are in agreement that the change to
carry context around is a longer term thing, and when we apply it, the
safety we added to "archive" will become simpler.
