## NAME
       archpath - output arch (tla/Bazaar) archive names, with support for branches

## SYNOPSIS
### archpath
       **archpath _**branch_
       **archpath _**branch_**--_**version_

## DESCRIPTION
       **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/cate‐
       gory--branch--version) associated with the working copy.

       If a parameter is given, it may either be a branch--version, in which case **archpath **will out‐
       put 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 cur‐
       rent 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.
