	I'd say there are at least two necessary commands hidden in
there.

	I just installed the tla backports on a debian woody box, and
with no setup I am running the following:

$ tla register-archive jdub perkypants org--projects http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/arch
$ tla get jdub perkypants org--projects/garnome--kenny--2.5.2

	Sure, it kvetches about how I'm not checking signatures. If I
cared enough about that, I'd just do this:

$ mkdir -p ~/.arch-params/signing
$ echo '/usr/bin/tla-gpg-check gpg_command="gpg --keyserver pgp.dtype.org --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --verify-files -"' > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default.check

	Not exactly 13 steps, now is it?  That's four, HALF of which
are just extras.

	Most of what you listed are just verification of things like
"gpg works" and "I can see archives up there".  Also, you manually
grabbed a key instead of telling gnupg to download automatically.  

	The my-id is only used for checkins, and the
"my-default-archive" step is actually not a good idea.

	Also, you listed all your cding around as "steps", which I
find somewhat intellectually dishonest.
