Yes, that would be nice, but the project I was trying out under arch is a very large, multi-year old project with loads of infrastructure. Trying to get it to work under arch would require lots of messing around, porting, and general rethinking of the make system. This is annoying--the goal would be to slip in arch with as little project-wide tweaking as possible. I particularly liked the page I found that talked about setting up a cvs to arch bridge. I did this and tried to use arch for a couple days but kept ending up banging my head against a wall. I couldn't rationally switch our whole way of doing builds just so I could test a new version control system. I think this sort of tool should be adaptive to many different style of project structure--and arch did not seem to be this way. It's why we haven't switched over to using it (not to mention our windows gui programmers who don't like to type arcane version control commands--that's going to be a hard sell as well).

That is not a feature, it is a bug. SCM is orthogonal to build tools, or at least a proper ones are. cvs, svn don't get in my way like this.
