+=head1 Devel Notes
+
+There are several places where Arch and git terminology are intermixed
+and potentially confused.
+
+The notion of a "branch" in git is approximately equivalent to
+a "archive/category--branch--version" in Arch. Also, it should be noted
+that the "--branch" portion of "archive/category--branch--version" is really
+optional in Arch although not many people (nor tools!) seem to know this.
+This means that "archive/category--version" is also a valid "branch"
+in git terms.
+
+We always refer to Arch names by their fully qualified variant (which
+means the "archive" name is prefixed.
+
+For people unfamiliar with Arch, an "archive" is the term for "repository",
+and can contain multiple, unrelated branches.
