archpath is intended to be run in an arch (tla or Bazaar) working copy.

       In    its    simplest    usage,    archpath    with    no    parameters    outputs   the   package   name
       (archive/category--branch--version) associated with the working copy.

       If a parameter is given, it may either be a  branch--version,  in  which  case  archpath  will  output  a
       corresponding package name in the current archive and category, or a plain branch name (without ‘--"), in
       which case archpath will output a corresponding package name in the current archive and category and with
       the same version as the current working copy.

       This  is useful for branching.  For example, if you're using Bazaar and you want to create a branch for a
       new feature, you might use a command like this:

              baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath new-feature)

       Or if you want to tag your current code onto a ‘releases’ branch as version 1.0, you might use a  command
       like this:

              baz branch $(archpath) $(archpath releases--1.0)

       That's  much  easier than using ‘baz tree-version’ to look up the package name and manually modifying the
       result.
